Name

ST_CoveredBy — Return true if no points of raster rastA lie outside raster rastB.

Synopsis

boolean ST_CoveredBy( raster rastA , integer nbandA , raster rastB , integer nbandB );

boolean ST_CoveredBy( raster rastA , raster rastB );

Description

Raster rastA is covered by rastB if and only if no points of rastA lie in the exterior of rastB. If the band number is not provided (or set to NULL), only the convex hull of the raster is considered in the test. If the band number is provided, only those pixels with value (not NODATA) are considered in the test.

[Note]

This function will make use of any indexes that may be available on the rasters.

[Note]

To test the spatial relationship of a raster and a geometry, use ST_Polygon on the raster, e.g. ST_CoveredBy(ST_Polygon(raster), geometry) or ST_CoveredBy(geometry, ST_Polygon(raster)).
