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.

An algorithm that returns an image identical to its argument, but which uses bilinear or bicubic interpolation (rather than the default nearest-neighbor) to compute pixels in projections other than its native projection or other levels of the same image pyramid.
This relies on the input image's default projection being meaningful, and so cannot be used on composites, for example. (Instead, you should resample the images that are used to create the composite.)
| Usage | Returns | Image.resample(mode) | Image |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: image | Image | The Image to resample. |
mode | String, default: "bilinear" | The interpolation mode to use. One of 'bilinear' or 'bicubic'. |

[null,null,["Last updated 2024-07-13 UTC."],[],["The algorithm resamples an input image using either bilinear or bicubic interpolation, departing from the default nearest-neighbor method. This is applied when calculating pixels in projections outside the image's native projection or in different levels of the image pyramid. The input image must have a meaningful default projection; therefore, it cannot be used on composites. The function, `Image.resample(mode)`, accepts an `Image` and a `mode` string (\"bilinear\" or \"bicubic\") as arguments, and returns a resampled `Image`.\n"]]
