ee.Image.unitScale
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Scales the input so that the range of input values [low, high] becomes [0, 1]. Values outside the range are NOT clamped. This algorithm always produces floating point pixels.
| Usage | Returns | Image.unitScale(low, high) | Image |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: input | Image | The image to scale. |
low | Float | The value mapped to 0. |
high | Float | The value mapped to 1. |
