Raster resampling and reprojection

In this section, we are going to transfer the values of a given raster from its own grid to a different grid. This operation is known as resampling. Raster reprojection is a closely related operation; it is basically resampling to a grid having a different CRS than that of the original raster.

Raster resampling

Raster resampling can be performed using the resample function. The required parameters of this function are as follows:

  • The raster whose values are to be resampled (x)
  • A raster that defines the grid to which the values will be transferred (y)
  • The resampling method (method)

The resample function currently provides two resampling methods. The method that we use determines the way in which a cell in the new raster ...
