Name

ST_SetGeoReference — Set Georeference 6 georeference parameters in a single call. Numbers should be separated by white space. Accepts inputs in GDAL or ESRI format. Default is GDAL.

Synopsis

raster ST_SetGeoReference(raster rast, text georefcoords, text format=GDAL);

raster ST_SetGeoReference(raster rast, double precision upperleftx, double precision upperlefty, double precision scalex, double precision scaley, double precision skewx, double precision skewy);

Description

Set Georeference 6 georeference parameters in a single call. Accepts inputs in 'GDAL' or 'ESRI' format. Default is GDAL. If 6 coordinates are not provided will return null.

Difference between format representations is as follows:

GDAL uses the value order shown below.

Code
scalex skewy skewx scaley upperleftx upperlefty

ESRI uses the value order shown below.

Code
scalex skewy skewx scaley upperleftx + scalex*0.5 upperlefty + scaley*0.5
[Note]

If the raster has out-db bands, changing the georeference may result in incorrect access of the band's externally stored data.

Enhanced: 2.1.0 Addition of ST_SetGeoReference(raster, double precision, ...) variant

Examples

Code
WITH source AS (
    SELECT ST_MakeEmptyRaster(5, 5, 0, 0, 1, -1, 0, 0, 0) AS rast
), variants AS (
    SELECT 0 AS rid, rast FROM source
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 1, ST_SetGeoReference(rast, '10 0 0 -10 0.1 0.1', 'GDAL')
    FROM source
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 2, ST_SetGeoReference(rast, '10 0 0 -10 5.1 -4.9', 'ESRI')
    FROM source
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 3, ST_SetGeoReference(rast, 1, 1, 10, -10, 0.001, 0.001)
    FROM source
)
SELECT
    rid,
    round(ST_UpperLeftX(rast)::numeric, 3) AS upperleftx,
    round(ST_UpperLeftY(rast)::numeric, 3) AS upperlefty,
    ST_ScaleX(rast) AS scalex,
    ST_ScaleY(rast) AS scaley,
    ST_SkewX(rast) AS skewx,
    ST_SkewY(rast) AS skewy
FROM variants
ORDER BY rid;
