ST_InterpolateRaster
Name
ST_InterpolateRaster — Interpolates a gridded surface based on an input set of 3-d points, using the X- and Y-values to position the points on the grid and the Z-value of the points as the surface elevation.

Description
Interpolates a gridded surface based on an input set of 3-d points, using the X- and Y-values to position the points on the grid and the Z-value of the points as the surface elevation. There are five interpolation algorithms available: inverse distance, inverse distance nearest-neighbor, moving average, nearest neighbor, and linear interpolation. See the gdal_grid documentation for more details on the algorithms and their parameters. For more information on how interpolations are calculated, see the GDAL grid tutorial .
Input parameters are:
- input_points
-
The points to drive the interpolation. Any geometry with Z-values is acceptable, all points in the input will be used.
- algorithm_options
-
A string defining the algorithm and algorithm options, in the format used by gdal_grid . For example, for an inverse-distance interpolation with a smoothing of 2, you would use "invdist:smoothing=2.0"
- template
-
A raster template to drive the geometry of the output raster. The width, height, pixel size, spatial extent and pixel type will be read from this template.
- template_band_num
-
By default the first band in the template raster is used to drive the output raster, but that can be adjusted with this parameter.
