Generates a 2x2 Roberts edge-detection kernel.
| Usage | Returns | ee.Kernel.roberts(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 Roberts kernel', ee.Kernel.roberts());
/**
* Output weights matrix; center is position [1,1]
*
* [1, 0]
* [0, -1]
*/
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.
