[raster] ST_PixelOfValue: given a band and value, get the band pixels with that value

[dustymugs]

As per the discussion in...

 http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2012-June/034611.html

It would be nice to have a function able to return the pixel coordinates of a user-specified value.

ST_PixelofValue(
	rast raster,
	nband integer,
	pixval double precision[],
	exclude_nodata_value DEFAULT true,
	OUT val double precision,
	OUT x integer,
	OUT y integer
) -> setof record

ST_PixelofValue(
	rast raster,
	nband integer,
	pixval double precision,
	exclude_nodata_value DEFAULT true,
	OUT x integer,
	OUT y integer
) -> setof record

I find this is very similar to adding a WHERE clause to ST_PixelAsPoints...

SELECT (gv).geom FROM (SELECT (ST_PixelAsPoints(rast)).geom geom

FROM rast

)

WHERE (gv).val = 1234

ST_PixelofValue might be faster though...

You're correct. That would be very similar (though I don't see ST_PixelAsPoints() anywhere). ST_PixelofValue should be fast
