Description

Expression version - Returns a one-band raster given one or two input rasters, band indexes and one or more user-specified SQL expressions.

Availability: 2.1.0

Description: Variants 1 and 2 (one raster)

Creates a new one band raster formed by applying a valid PostgreSQL algebraic operation defined by the expression on the input raster ( rast ). If nband is not provided, band 1 is assumed. The new raster will have the same georeference, width, and height as the original raster but will only have one band.

If pixeltype is passed in, then the new raster will have a band of that pixeltype. If pixeltype is passed NULL, then the new raster band will have the same pixeltype as the input rast band.

Keywords permitted for expression
1. [rast] - Pixel value of the pixel of interest
2. [rast.val] - Pixel value of the pixel of interest
3. [rast.x] - 1-based pixel column of the pixel of interest
4. [rast.y] - 1-based pixel row of the pixel of interest

Description: Variants 3 and 4 (two raster)

Creates a new one band raster formed by applying a valid PostgreSQL algebraic operation to the two bands defined by the expression on the two input raster bands rast1 , ( rast2 ). If no band1 , band2 is specified band 1 is assumed. The resulting raster will be aligned (scale, skew and pixel corners) on the grid defined by the first raster. The resulting raster will have the extent defined by the extenttype parameter.

expression

A PostgreSQL algebraic expression involving the two rasters and PostgreSQL defined functions/operators that will define the pixel value when pixels intersect. e.g. (([rast1] + [rast2])/2.0)::integer

pixeltype

The resulting pixel type of the output raster. Must be one listed in ST_BandPixelType , left out or set to NULL. If not passed in or set to NULL, will default to the pixeltype of the first raster.

extenttype

Controls the extent of resulting raster

INTERSECTION - The extent of the new raster is the intersection of the two rasters. This is the default.
UNION - The extent of the new raster is the union of the two rasters.
FIRST - The extent of the new raster is the same as the one of the first raster.
SECOND - The extent of the new raster is the same as the one of the second raster.

nodata1expr

An algebraic expression involving only rast2 or a constant that defines what to return when pixels of rast1 are nodata values and spatially corresponding rast2 pixels have values.

nodata2expr

An algebraic expression involving only rast1 or a constant that defines what to return when pixels of rast2 are nodata values and spatially corresponding rast1 pixels have values.

nodatanodataval

A numeric constant to return when spatially corresponding rast1 and rast2 pixels are both nodata values.

Keywords permitted in expression , nodata1expr and nodata2expr

4. [rast1.y] - 1-based pixel row of the pixel of interest from rast1
5. [rast2] - Pixel value of the pixel of interest from rast2
6. [rast2.val] - Pixel value of the pixel of interest from rast2
7. [rast2.x] - 1-based pixel column of the pixel of interest from rast2
