Earth Engine is introducing
noncommercial quota tiers to safeguard shared compute resources and ensure reliable performance for everyone. All noncommercial projects will need to select a quota tier by
April 27, 2026 or will use the Community Tier by default. Tier quotas will take effect for all projects (regardless of tier selection date) on
April 27, 2026.

[null,null,["Last updated 2023-10-06 UTC."],[],["The core functionality determines the count of one-bits within the 64-bit two's complement binary form of an input image. The operation, `bitCount()`, is applied to an image (`value`) and outputs a new image. The result represents the number of set bits within the binary representation of each pixel in the provided input `Image`. The function does not take other inputs than the `value` to process.\n"]]
