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.
ee.Reducer.median
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Create a reducer that will compute the median of the inputs. For small numbers of inputs (up to maxRaw) the median will be computed directly; for larger numbers of inputs the median will be derived from a histogram.

For smaller datasets (up to `maxRaw`), the median is directly computed. Larger datasets utilize a histogram for median derivation. The `ee.Reducer.median` function creates this reducer, accepting `maxBuckets` (maximum histogram buckets), `minBucketWidth` (minimum bucket size), and `maxRaw` (raw values threshold) as parameters to customize the histogram creation.\n"]]
