ee.Kernel.cross

  • The ee.Kernel.cross function generates a cross-shaped boolean kernel.

  • The function takes arguments for radius , units , normalize , and magnitude .

  • The generated kernel is a weights matrix representing the cross shape.

  • Examples are provided for both JavaScript and Python environments.

Generates a cross-shaped boolean kernel.
Usage Returns
ee.Kernel.cross(radius, units , normalize , magnitude ) Kernel
Argument Type Details
radius
Float The radius of the kernel to generate.
units
String, default: "pixels" The system of measurement for the kernel ('pixels' or 'meters'). If the kernel is specified in meters, it will resize when the zoom-level is changed.
normalize
Boolean, default: true Normalize the kernel values to sum to 1.
magnitude
Float, default: 1 Scale each value by this amount.
