ee.Geometry.intersection

Returns the intersection of the two geometries.

Usage	Returns
Geometry.intersection(right, maxError, proj)	Geometry

Argument	Type	Details
this: left	Geometry	The geometry used as the left operand of the operation.
right	Geometry	The geometry used as the right operand of the operation.
maxError	ErrorMargin, default: null	The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection.
proj	Projection, default: null	The projection in which to perform the operation. If not specified, the operation will be performed in a spherical coordinate system, and linear distances will be in meters on the sphere.

// Define a Geometry object.
var geometry = ee.Geometry({
  'type': 'Polygon',
  'coordinates':
    [[[-122.081, 37.417],
      [-122.086, 37.421],
      [-122.084, 37.418],
      [-122.089, 37.416]]]
});

// Define other inputs.
var inputGeom = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.085, 37.415, -122.075, 37.425);

// Apply the intersection method to the Geometry object.
var geometryIntersection = geometry.intersection({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});

// Print the result to the console.
print('geometry.intersection(...) =', geometryIntersection);

// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(geometry,
             {'color': 'black'},
             'Geometry [black]: geometry');
Map.addLayer(inputGeom,
             {'color': 'blue'},
             'Parameter [blue]: inputGeom');
Map.addLayer(geometryIntersection,
             {'color': 'red'},
             'Result [red]: geometry.intersection');
