ee.FeatureCollection.inverseDistance
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Returns an inverse-distance weighted estimate of the value at each pixel.
| Usage | Returns | FeatureCollection.inverseDistance(range, propertyName, mean, stdDev, gamma, reducer) | Image |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: collection | FeatureCollection | Feature collection to use as source data for the estimation. |
range | Float | Size of the interpolation window (in meters). |
propertyName | String | Name of the numeric property to be estimated. |
mean | Float | Global expected mean. |
stdDev | Float | Global standard deviation. |
gamma | Float, default: 1 | Determines how quickly the estimates tend towards the global mean. |
reducer | Reducer, default: null | Reducer used to collapse the 'propertyName' value of overlapping points into a single value. |
