Description

Returns a one-band raster given one or more input rasters, band indexes and one user-specified callback function.

rast,rast1,rast2, rastbandargset

Rasters on which the map algebra process is evaluated.

rastbandargset allows the use of a map algebra operation on many rasters and/or many bands. See example Variant 1.

nband, nband1, nband2

Band numbers of the raster to be evaluated. nband can be an integer or integer[] denoting the bands. nband1 is band on rast1 and nband2 is band on rast2 for hte 2 raster/2band case.

callbackfunc

The callbackfunc parameter must be the name and signature of an SQL or PL/pgSQL function, cast to a regprocedure. An example PL/pgSQL function example is: 

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sample_callbackfunc(value double precision[][][], position integer[][], VARIADIC userargs text[])
	RETURNS double precision
	AS $$
	BEGIN
		RETURN 0;
	END;
	$$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' IMMUTABLE;

The callbackfunc must have three arguments: a 3-dimension double precision array, a 2-dimension integer array and a variadic 1-dimension text array. The first argument value is the set of values (as double precision) from all input rasters. The three dimensions (where indexes are 1-based) are: raster #, row y, column x. The second argument position is the set of pixel positions from the output raster and input rasters. The outer dimension (where indexes are 0-based) is the raster #. The position at outer dimension index 0 is the output raster's pixel position. For each outer dimension, there are two elements in the inner dimension for X and Y. The third argument userargs is for passing through any user-specified arguments.

Passing a regprocedure argument to a SQL function requires the full function signature to be passed, then cast to a regprocedure type. To pass the above example PL/pgSQL function as an argument, the SQL for the argument is: 

'sample_callbackfunc(double precision[], integer[], text[])'::regprocedure

Note that the argument contains the name of the function, the types of the function arguments, quotes around the name and argument types, and a cast to a regprocedure .

mask

An n-dimenional array (matrix) of numbers used to filter what cells get passed to map algebra call-back function. 0 means a neighbor cell value should be treated as no-data and 1 means value should be treated as data. If weight is set to true, then the values, are used as multipliers to multiple the pixel value of that value in the neighborhood position.

weighted

boolean (true/false) to denote if a mask value should be weighted (multiplied by original value) or not (only applies to proto that takes a mask).

pixeltype

If pixeltype is passed in, the one band of the new raster will be of that pixeltype. If pixeltype is passed NULL or left out, the new raster band will have the same pixeltype as the specified band of the first raster (for extent types: INTERSECTION, UNION, FIRST, CUSTOM) or the specified band of the appropriate raster (for extent types: SECOND, LAST). If in doubt, always specify pixeltype .

The resulting pixel type of the output raster must be one listed in ST_BandPixelType or left out or set to NULL.

extenttype

Possible values are INTERSECTION (default), UNION, FIRST (default for one raster variants), SECOND, LAST, CUSTOM.

customextent

If extentype is CUSTOM, a raster must be provided for customextent . See example 4 of Variant 1.

distancex

The distance in pixels from the reference cell. So width of resulting matrix would be 2*distancex + 1 .If not specified only the reference cell is considered (neighborhood of 0).

distancey

The distance in pixels from reference cell in y direction. Height of resulting matrix would be 2*distancey + 1 .If not specified only the reference cell is considered (neighborhood of 0).

userargs

The third argument to the callbackfunc is a variadic text array. All trailing text arguments are passed through to the specified callbackfunc , and are contained in the userargs argument.

[Note]

For more information about the VARIADIC keyword, please refer to the PostgreSQL documentation and the "SQL Functions with Variable Numbers of Arguments" section of Query Language (SQL) Functions .

[Note]

The text[] argument to the callbackfunc is required, regardless of whether you choose to pass any arguments to the callback function for processing or not.

Variant 1 accepts an array of rastbandarg allowing the use of a map algebra operation on many rasters and/or many bands. See example Variant 1.

Variants 2 and 3 operate upon one or more bands of one raster. See example Variant 2 and 3.

Variant 4 operate upon two rasters with one band per raster. See example Variant 4.
