Generates a Gaussian kernel from a sampled continuous Gaussian.
| Usage | Returns | ee.Kernel.gaussian(radius, sigma, units, normalize, magnitude) | Kernel |
| Argument | Type | Details | radius | Float | The radius of the kernel to generate. |
sigma | Float, default: 1 | Standard deviation of the Gaussian function (same units as radius). |
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. |
Examples
