Name

ST_Rescale — Resample a raster by adjusting only its scale (or pixel size). New pixel values are computed using the NearestNeighbor (english or american spelling), Bilinear, Cubic, CubicSpline, Lanczos, Max or Min resampling algorithm. Default is NearestNeighbor.

Synopsis

raster ST_Rescale(raster rast, double precision scalexy, text algorithm=NearestNeighbor, double precision maxerr=0.125);

raster ST_Rescale(raster rast, double precision scalex, double precision scaley, text algorithm=NearestNeighbor, double precision maxerr=0.125);

Descripción

Resample a raster by adjusting only its scale (or pixel size). New pixel values are computed using one of the following resampling algorithms:

  • NearestNeighbor (english or american spelling)

  • Bilineal

  • Cubic

  • CubicSpline

  • Lanczos

  • Max

  • Min

The default is NearestNeighbor which is the fastest but results in the worst interpolation.

scalex and scaley define the new pixel size. scaley must often be negative to get well oriented raster.

When the new scalex or scaley is not a divisor of the raster width or height, the extent of the resulting raster is expanded to encompass the extent of the provided raster. If you want to be sure to retain exact input extent see ST_Resize

maxerr is the threshold for transformation approximation by the resampling algorithm (in pixel units). A default of 0.125 is used if no maxerr is specified, which is the same value used in GDAL gdalwarp utility. If set to zero, no approximation takes place.

[Note]

Refer to: GDAL Warp resampling methods for more details.

[Note]

ST_Rescale is different from ST_SetScale in that ST_SetScale do not resample the raster to match the raster extent. ST_SetScale only changes the metadata (or georeference) of the raster to correct an originally mis-specified scaling. ST_Rescale results in a raster having different width and height computed to fit the geographic extent of the input raster. ST_SetScale do not modify the width, nor the height of the raster.

Availability: 2.0.0 Requires GDAL 1.6.1+

Enhanced: 3.4.0 max and min resampling options added

Changed: 2.1.0 Works on rasters with no SRID

Ejemplos

A simple example rescaling a raster from a pixel size of 0.001 degree to a pixel size of 0.0015 degree.

-- the original raster pixel size
SELECT ST_PixelWidth(ST_AddBand(ST_MakeEmptyRaster(100, 100, 0, 0, 0.001, -0.001, 0, 0, 4269), '8BUI'::text, 1, 0)) width
