Do you guys consider this to be a bug? It is sort of, but not sure if anything can be done about it. I presume it would go under GEOS not PostGIS. Anyrate it seems to me that if a geometry is valid - ST_Centroid should not be returning an empty geometry collection except when given an Empty Geometry Collection. Am I wrong in that assumption?

Fred and Ghislain,
Thanks - yes that's because of the rounding that happens in ST_GeomFromText -- the ST_GeomFromText is rounding the last couple of digits so the text rep isn't actually what the geometry is so its probably something like
796579.5624334065668 or some such thing. Looking at this in OpenJump, the polygon is practically a line so borders on being almost invalid.
So I guess its some sort of rounding issue that before it gets to ST_Centroid its not invalid because the 2 mid points are technically not the same, but once it gets into ST_Centroid some rounding happens that makes it equivalent to an invalid geometry (basically a polygon with 3 points).
Well I'm able to recreate this result in "POSTGIS="1.3.5SVN" GEOS="3.1.0-CAPI-1.5.0" PROJ="Rel. 4.6.0, 21 Dec 2007"
I suppose the workaround for now would be to ignore anything where the area is close to 0 or centroid is empty or use ST_SnapToGrid to get rid of those extra digits in your geometry.
http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-svn/ST_SnapToGrid.html
None of which is terribly appealing.
Thanks,
Regina

Hi,
just a note:
inserting the same geometry :
INSERT INTO bug (gid, the_geom) VALUES (
1 , '0103000020BE6B0000010000000400000081F178483F4F2841D730212506D33C418045F71F474F2841D706623902D33C417E45F71F474F2841D806623902D33C4181F178483F4F2841D730212506D33C41'
);
and
INSERT INTO bug (gid, the_geom) VALUES (2,st_geomfromtext('POLYGON((
796575.641547725 1889030.1450377,
796579.562433407 1889026.22415202,
796579.562433406 1889026.22415202,
796575.641547725 1889030.1450377))',-1))
then :
SELECT gid, st_area(the_geom), astext(centroid(the_geom)), isvalid(the_geom)
FROM bug
returns:
1; 0.0001220703125;"GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY";t
2; 0.0001220703125;"POINT(796578.255471513 1889027.53111391)";t
!!

Here, you will find the ouput of pg_dump to study this geometrry. Thanks again.

Ghislain,
The only time I have seen this kind of behavior is when centroid returns an empty geometry collection. In those cases its because the geometry is invalid.
Although none of your geometries are invalid, it could be a bug in either the centroid code or isvalid check that may or may not be fixed in 3.0.3+ of GEOS.
Can you do the following
SELECT gid, the_geom
FROM ZS2C
WHERE isempty(centroid(the_geom))
and send us as an attatched file with one of those geometries. We can cross check with GEOS 3.0.3 or 3.1 to see if the issue still remains.
Thanks,
Regina

I've no collection. It's looks like a bug.
Moreover my table is very large wiht more than 500 000 geometry and i
found no solution to identy the wrong geom.
Here you can see the query, with the same result on different
plateform (LINUX DEBIAN, MACOS, with GEOS 3)
otm=# select distinct geometrytype(the_geom) from ZS2c;
geometrytype
--------------
MULTIPOLYGON
(1 row)
otm=# select distinct geometrytype(the_geom) from bd_dispo_finalc ;
geometrytype
--------------
MULTIPOLYGON
POLYGON
(2 rows)
otm=# create table info_nonvoue1 as
otm-# select b.id_parc, z.niv from bd_dispo_finalc as b, ZS2c as z
otm-# where z.niv=1 and intersects(centroid(b.the_geom),z.the_geom)
and b.the_geom && z.the_geom and isvalid(b.the_geom) and isvalid
(z.the_geom);
ERROR: Relate Operation called with a LWGEOMCOLLECTION type. This
is unsupported

Many of the GEOS relation functions do not work with collections.
You must have a geometry collection in there somewhere or its a bug.
Also which relation function were you trying?
To figure out the type of your geometries, run
SELECT *
FROM sometable
WHERE GeometryType(the_geom) = 'GEOMETRYCOLLECTION'

I have an error with some geometry that cause : "ERROR Relate
Operation
called withLWGEOMCOLLECTION type".
All the geometries seem clean (valid, non empty, closed, only
POLYGON,
..)
My question : how to get information of which geometry cause the
problem ?
Is there a way to have information about the geometry during
postgis
is
working on a SQL query ?
Thanks.
Hi Ghislain,
What the query that failed looks like ?
The message is telling that one geometry has an invalid type.
In your query, you could try to ask for ST_GeometryType(geometry) and
a geometry identifier to see which geometry has the wrong type.
If you perform a spatial operation, it is possible that
geometryCollection is produced.
You could maybe split your query into smaller block to see where such
collections are generated.
Nicolas
