ee.Image.arrayDotProduct

Computes the dot product of each pair of 1-D arrays in the bands of the input images.

Usage	Returns
Image.arrayDotProduct(image2)	Image

Argument	Type	Details
this: image1	Image	First array image of 1-D vectors.
image2	Image	Second array image of 1-D vectors.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// A function to print arrays for a selected pixel in the following examples.
function sampArrImg(arrImg) {
  var point = ee.Geometry.Point([-121, 42]);
  return arrImg.sample(point, 500).first().get('array');
}

// A 1D array image.
var arrayImg1Da = ee.Image([0, 1, 2]).toArray();
print('1D array image A (pixel)', sampArrImg(arrayImg1Da));
// [0, 1, 2]

// A second 1D array image of the same length.
var arrayImg1Db = ee.Image([3, 4, 5]).toArray();
print('1D array image B (pixel)', sampArrImg(arrayImg1Db));
// [3, 4, 5]

// Calculate the dot product for the two 1D arrays.
var test = arrayImg1Da.arrayDotProduct(arrayImg1Db);
print('A⋅B = 0(3) + 1(4) + 2(5) = ', sampArrImg(test));
// 14
