Desktop Help 10.0 - ST_Raster.getValue

Definition

The ST_Raster.getValue function returns the value of a single pixel given that pixel's location within the ST_Raster object. The location can be specified either in pixel coordinates or by geographic coordinates. The function returns an error whenever the specified location is beyond the raster pixel dimension or geographic extent. ST_Raster.getValue returns NULL if the pixel value at the specified location is NoData.

Syntax

Oracle

getValue (band INTEGER, 
          level INTEGER, 
          x INTEGER, 
          y INTEGER)

getValue (band INTEGER, 
          level INTEGER, 
          point SE_COORD)

PostgreSQL

getValue (raster IN ST_RASTER, 
          band INT, 
          level INT, 
          x INT, 
          y INT)

getValue (raster IN ST_RASTER, 
          band INT, 
          level INT, 
          point SE_COORD)

SQL Server

getValue (band IN NUMBER, 
          level IN NUMBER, 
          x IN NUMBER, 
          y IN NUMBER)

getValueByLoc (band IN NUMBER, 
               level IN NUMBER, 
               x IN DOUBLE, 
               y IN DOUBLE)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
band	The band number (beginning at 1) of the pixel
level	The pyramid level of the pixel
x	The x-pixel coordinate
y	The y-pixel coordinate
point	The geographic coordinate of the pixel
raster	The ST_Raster object containing the pixel value

Examples

The first example returns pixel values for band 1, 2, and 3 for the base pyramid level at pixel location (0,0).

The second example returns pixel values for the base pyramid level for bands 1, 2, and 3 at a geographic location (100.5, 20.5).
