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.

Page Summary
The ee.Kernel.fixed() method creates a Kernel object.
This method takes optional arguments for width, height, x and y focus locations, and a boolean to normalize the weights, but requires a 2-D list of weights.
The weights argument should be a 2-D list with dimensions matching the height and width of the kernel.
Examples in JavaScript and Python demonstrate how to create a fixed kernel using a list of weights.
Creates a Kernel.
Usage
Returns
ee.Kernel.fixed(width, height, weights, x, y, normalize)
Kernel
Argument
Type
Details
width
Integer, default: -1
The width of the kernel in pixels.
height
Integer, default: -1
The height of the kernel in pixels.
weights
List
A 2-D list of [height] x [width] values to use as the weights of the kernel.
x
Integer, default: -1
The location of the focus, as an offset from the left.
y
Integer, default: -1
The location of the focus, as an offset from the top.

Key actions involve defining the kernel's `width` and `height` in pixels and providing a 2-D list of `weights`. Users can specify the focus point using `x` and `y` offsets. An option to `normalize` the weights, ensuring they sum to 1, is available. The function then returns a `Kernel` object for use. Example `weights` data are shown.\n"]]
