[postgis-users] 2.1.6 Released

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Rémi,
Thanks for the reply and information.

I’m afraid I inherited this database and don’t know much about it (or pointcloud).

Looking into though, I doubt it’s compressed, we extract the data with:
select block_id , pc_get(pc_explode(pa), 'X') as x, pc_get(pc_explode(pa), 'Y') as y, pc_get(pc_explode(pa), 'Z') as z from xyz_patches

so using pc_get rather than pc_uncompress.

On the other hand, there are 6 entries in pointcloud_formats which all have the “<Metadata name="compression">dimensional</Metadata>” line set. But I can’t decipher the documentation well enough to know if the data actually uses it.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Hey,
if you use the compression of patch and sensible xml schema,
you should already have a 1:2 to 1:4 compression of the point size.
(compared to binary ply in my case)
Cheers,
Rémi-C

Hi Paul,
I suspect I know the answer to this (“no”), but to confirm, is the disk saving for points going to apply to points stored using the pointcloud extension in a postgis database?

Thanks,
Jonathan
