ee.Image.fastDistanceTransform

Returns the distance, as determined by the specified distance metric, to the nearest non-zero valued pixel in the input. The output contains values for all pixels within the given neighborhood size, regardless of the input's mask. Note: the default distance metric returns squared distance.

UsageReturns
