Earth Engine is introducing noncommercial quota tiers to safeguard shared compute resources and ensure reliable performance for everyone. All noncommercial projects will need to select a quota tier by April 27, 2026 or will use the Community Tier by default. Tier quotas will take effect for all projects (regardless of tier selection date) on April 27, 2026. Learn more.
The angle, in degrees, at which to search for non-zero pixels.
maxDistance
Integer
The maximum distance, in pixels, over which to search.
labelBand
String, default: null
If provided, multi-band inputs are permitted and only this band is used for searching. All other bands are returned and populated with the per-band values found at the searched non-zero pixels in the label band.

It returns an image containing these floating-point distances. The search is performed up to a maximum distance. Optionally, a specific band can be defined as the target for the search, while preserving the other bands with the values found at searched pixel locations.\n"]]
