Beschreibung

Berechnet die konvexe Hülle einer Geometrie. Die konvexe Hülle stellt die kleinste konvexe Geometrie dar, welche die gesamte Geometrie einschließt.

One can think of the convex hull as the geometry obtained by wrapping an rubber band around a set of geometries. This is different from a concave hull which is analogous to "shrink-wrapping" the geometries. A convex hull is often used to determine an affected area based on a set of point observations.

In the general case the convex hull is a Polygon. The convex hull of two or more collinear points is a two-point LineString. The convex hull of one or more identical points is a Point.

This is not an aggregate function. To compute the convex hull of a set of geometries, use ST_Collect to aggregate them into a geometry collection (e.g. ST_ConvexHull(ST_Collect(geom)).
