Rescale (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro

Summary

Resizes a raster by the specified x and y scale factors.

Usage

The output size is multiplied by the scale factor for both the x and y directions. The number of columns and rows stays the same in this process, but the cell size is multiplied by the scale factor.
The scale factor must be positive.
A scale factor greater than one means the image will be rescaled to a larger dimension, resulting in a larger extent because of a larger cell size.
A scale factor less than one means the image will be rescaled to a smaller dimension, resulting in a smaller extent because of a smaller cell size.
You can save your output to BIL, BIP, BMP, BSQ, DAT, Esri Grid , GIF, IMG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, TIFF, MRF, CRF, or any geodatabase raster dataset.
When storing your raster dataset to a JPEG file, a JPEG 2000 file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a Compression Type and Compression Quality in the Environments.
This tool supports multidimensional raster data. To run the tool on each slice in the multidimensional raster and generate a multidimensional raster output, be sure to save the output to CRF.
Supported input multidimensional dataset types include multidimensional raster layer, mosaic dataset, image service, and CRF.

Syntax

Rescale(in_raster, out_raster, x_scale, y_scale)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_raster	The input raster.	Mosaic Layer; Raster Layer
out_raster	The output raster dataset. When storing the raster dataset in a file format, you need to specify the file extension: .bil—Esri BIL .bip—Esri BIP .bmp—BMP .bsq—Esri BSQ .dat—ENVI DAT .gif—GIF .img—ERDAS IMAGINE .jpg—JPEG .jp2—JPEG 2000 .png—PNG .tif—TIFF .mrf—MRF .crf—CRF No extension for Esri Grid When storing a raster dataset in a geodatabase, no file extension should be added to the name of the raster dataset. When storing your raster dataset to a JPEG file, a JPEG 2000 file, a TIFF file, or a geodatabase, you can specify a Compression Type and Compression Quality in the geoprocessing Environments.	Raster Dataset
x_scale	The factor by which to scale the cell size in the x direction. The factor must be greater than zero.	Double
y_scale	The factor by which to scale the cell size in the y direction. The factor must be greater than zero.	Double
