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.

Reverse Squared Euclidean Distance (RSED) computes the 2D maximal height surface created by placing an inverted parabola over each non-zero pixel of the input image, where the pixel's value is the height of the parabola. Viewed as a binary image (zero/not-zero) this is equivalent to buffering each non-zero input pixel by the square root of its value, in pixels.
| Usage | Returns | Image.rsedTransform(neighborhood, units) | Image |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: image | Image | The input image. |
neighborhood | Integer, default: 256 | Neighborhood size in pixels. |
units | String, default: "pixels" | The units of the neighborhood, currently only 'pixels' are supported. |

It's analogous to buffering each non-zero pixel by the square root of its value. The `Image.rsedTransform` function takes an input image and computes the RSED transform. The function requires `neighborhood` size in pixels (default 256) and supports `\"pixels\"` as `units`. It returns the transformed `Image`.\n"]]
