Generates a 3x3 Prewitt edge-detection kernel.
| Usage | Returns | ee.Kernel.prewitt(magnitude, normalize) | Kernel |
| Argument | Type | Details | magnitude | Float, default: 1 | Scale each value by this amount. |
normalize | Boolean, default: false | Normalize the kernel values to sum to 1. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
print('A Prewitt kernel', ee.Kernel.prewitt());
/**
* Output weights matrix
*
* [1, 0, -1]
* [1, 0, -1]
* [1, 0, -1]
*/
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.

Colab (Python)
from pprint import pprint
print('A Prewitt kernel:')
pprint(ee.Kernel.prewitt().getInfo())
# Output weights matrix
