[raster] Raster ST_Contains

Description

Greetings,

I have loaded 1 band 8bit data to a raster table with tile size 500x500, and am trying to render through MapServer/GDAL. Some of the tiles render, but most do not. After turning logging verbose on PostgreSQL I see that GDAL wktrasterraterband.cpp is calling for data a tile at a time, and many of the calls are not returning any data. Below is the metadata for one such tile, and the SQL that GDAL executes. It appears the ST_Contains thinks some part of the Box2D is outside the rast. I modified the wktrasterraterband.cpp IReadBlock function to buffer(Box2d,-1) and the all the tiles render.

I know this is not a good solution, any information on what I may do to remedy this would be great.

Thanks, Drew

Hi Andrew,

ST_Contains considers a polygon doesn't contain its boundaries, and that's what's happening here, I think.

The BOX2D constructed to make the query is based on the pixel corners of each block (=row in raster table in tiled rasters) transformed in map coordinates using geotransform array. Making a buffer around this box could solve the problem, yes, but I think getting a tile per server round it's an improvable strategy.

I have a new version of GDAL driver, with some improvements, but this part hasn't be improved yet. Suggestions are welcome before committing it.

Many thanks for the report, Andrew.

This is a GDAL driver bug, no? Can we change the status?

Yes, we can. I've added this to the GDAL trac: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3569
