[postgis-users] TIN from point coverage

[Pierre Racine]

My goal is to define the way leading from a point coverage to a raster. Something like ST_Interpolate("pointgeomtable", "rastercolumn") -> raster. What would be the step leading to that?

I guess we have everything now to store a Delaunay Triangulation as polyhedral surfaces right?

Then from this polyhedral surface we can derive a raster...

Maybe a first ST_AsDelaunayTriangulation(geom) could be an aggregate SET function returning a set of triangle...

and maybe ST_Interpolate(polyhedral surfaces) could be an aggregate function that would aggregate those triangle into a raster?

What do you think?
