The attribute client.intents must be of the discord.Intents class. They cannot be assigned the way you have done it. (According to documents, it must be of type discord.Intents).
See discord.Intents docs.

You should use discord.Intents.all() as it will define all intents as True. The .default() removes only the ones you want. .all() won't.

The best way to do this is during initialization.

You need to upgrade your discord.py version. This can be done by specifying the version you need in the requirements.txt file. You can check your version of discord.py by executing discord.__version__ Latest version is 1.7.2 and putting this in the requirements.txt you would need to put discord.py>=1.7.2

If you want to use all the intents then it's best to use discord.Intents.all() instead of specifying the intents you want to use.

When troubleshooting code that interacts with an external app like this, it's a good idea to test your own part first, as a standalone script. In this case, if I test your image manipulation code alone, it fails because the final image is in paletted mode (P), and you try to save it as a JPEG, which needs to be RGB. This can be fixed by converting the mode first. But there are some other issues, namely:

• You have the signature for on_member_join wrong. It accepts only a single argument, the member in question.
• You pick a channel, but then attempt to send the message from ctx instead.
• member.avatar_url is a URL, which Pillow can't open directly. This answer handily shows how to do so, however. Note that you'll need to install Requests.
• Using NumPy here works, but you don't actually need it, since this can all be accomplished through Pillow.
• You don't need to save and reopen the cropped avatar; use the object you're already working with.
• Perhaps you need it for other things your bot is doing, but for this, you don't need the presences intent, only members.
• It's not causing a problem with the code, but I think you're a little confused about import statements. You don't need to import a module first just to then import specific parts of it; that is, you can do from x import y without first doing import x. And there's no need for from x import y if you plan to reference it as x.y in your code.
• I'd recommend using pathlib. It's very convenient for working with file paths.

Here's a rewritten version that works for me:

Could you let us know what is being logged to the console from the console.log(member)?

My best bet would be that the WELCOME_CHANNEL_ID is wrong and thus returning a bogus channel.

If that is not the case, then maybe the bot is not caching the channels, so use this:

I suggest to remove the class and use the code as docs say. If you don't want, try to copy-paste the intents line into the class() too.

You are assigning a Client with the members intent enabled, and them immediately overwriting it with a Bot that has the default intents (and therefore the members intent disabled).

Pass your intents into the Bot creation instead.

As Ceres said, you need to allow intents. Go to your developer's page https://discord.com/developers/applications, and go to the bot. Scroll down a bit, and you'll see this: Turn on presence and server members intent.

Now, in your code, you'll have to add this in the beginning:

The premise of your question is wrong. You should generally not project your data to compute distances; projections distort so the distance will not be very precise. This is especially true if your data has a large spatial extent.

Approaches to compute the nearest distance may vary, for example depending on how many points you have. But in this example you can just use brute force and compute all distances
