AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The
projection()
method returns the projection of a given Geometry object. -
This method takes a Geometry object as input and returns a Projection object representing its projection.
-
The returned Projection object can be used for further geospatial analysis or manipulation.
-
Examples are provided in JavaScript and Python to illustrate the usage of the
projection()
method with Earth Engine.
Usage | Returns |
