ST_PixelData.getValue

Definition

The ST_PixelData.getValue function returns the value of a single pixel given that pixel's location within the ST_PixelData object. The location can be specified either in pixel coordinates or geographic coordinates. The function returns an error whenever the specified location is beyond the raster pixel dimension or geographic extent. ST_PixelData.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 (data IN ST_PIXELDATA, 
          band IN INT, 
          x IN INT, 
          y IN INT)

getValue (data IN ST_PIXELDATA, 
          band IN INT, 
          point IN SE_COORD)

SQL Server

getValue (band IN INT, 
          x IN INT, 
          y IN INT)

getValueByLoc (band IN INT, 
               x IN double, 
               y IN double)

Examples

The following returns the value of a single pixel given the location of that pixel within the ST_PixelData object.

Oracle

DECLARE

        pixelvalue NUMBER;
BEGIN
  	  SELECT image.getPixelData() INTO p FROM MOAB;
  	  pixelvalue := p.getvalue(1,0,1,1);
        pixelvalue := p.getvalue(1,0,SE_COORD(34.057, 117.171));
      END; 
      /

PostgreSQL
