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. Learn more.

Calculates the signed right shift of v1 by v2 bits for each matched pair of bands in image1 and image2. If either image1 or image2 has only 1 band, then it is used against all the bands in the other image. If the images have the same number of bands, but not the same names, they're used pairwise in the natural order. The output bands are named for the longer of the two inputs, or if they're equal in length, in image1's order. The type of the output pixels is the union of the input types.

The operation shifts `image1`'s bands right by `image2`'s bands' values. If one image has a single band, it's applied to all bands of the other. When band counts match but names differ, pairwise shifting is done. Output band names are derived from the longer input or `image1` if lengths are equal. Output pixel type is a union of input types. Returns a new image.\n"]]
