     1) '''ST_AsRaster''' takes a geometry and converts it to a raster.
 
-    2) '''ST_Interpolate''' takes a point (e.g. filtered lidar points) or line geometry (e.g. digitized topo lines) coverage to interpolate pixels values between geometries. There are numerous methods of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpolation interpolation] and it would nice to have a generic method so we can use all of them, but we’re first targeting [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilinear_interpolation bilinear interpolation], which will fill most needs and lay the ground for other methods.

Converting a point table to a TIN and then to a raster is also a way to go. A Delaunay triangulation can be produced with the [http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/triangle.html Triangle library] (copyright issues should be checked first).
