ee.Image.arrayGet

For each band, an output band of the same name is created with the value at the given position extracted from the input multidimensional pixel in that band.

UsageReturns
Image.arrayGet(position)Image
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: imageImageArray to get an element from.
positionImageThe coordinates of the element to get. There must be as many scalar bands as there are dimensions in the input image.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// A function to print the array 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');
}

// Create a 1D array image.
var arrayImg1D = ee.Image([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).toArray();
print('1D array image (pixel)', sampArrImg(arrayImg1D));
// [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

// Get the array value at a given position. Here we target the 4th element.
var position1D = ee.Image([3]);
var selectedElement1D = arrayImg1D.arrayGet(position1D);
print('Element at position [3] (4th element)', sampArrImg(selectedElement1D));
// [3]

// Create a 2D 2x3 array image (reshape the 1D array image).
var arrayImg2D = arrayImg1D.arrayReshape(ee.Image([2, 3]).toArray(), 2);
print('2D 2x3 array image (pixel)', sampArrImg(arrayImg2D));
// [[0, 1, 2],
//  [3, 4, 5]]

// Get the array element value at axis-0, position 0 and axis-1, position 2.
var position2D = ee.Image([0, 2]);
var selectedElement2D = arrayImg2D.arrayGet(position2D);
print('Element at position [0, 2]', sampArrImg(selectedElement2D));
// 2
