Format

SDO_GEOR.getSpatialResolutions(
     georaster  IN SDO_GEORASTER 
     ) RETURN SDO_NUMBER_ARRAY;

Description

Returns the spatial resolution value along each spatial dimension of a GeoRaster object.

Parameters

georaster

GeoRaster object.

Usage Notes

Each value indicates the number of units of measurement associated with the data area represented by that spatial dimension of a pixel. For example, if the spatial resolution values are (10,10) and the unit of measurement for the ground data is meters, each pixel represents an area of 10 meters by 10 meters.

The spatial resolutions may be inconsistent with the georeferencing information, especially when the GeoRaster object is not georectified. You can use the SDO_GEOR.setSpatialResolutions procedure to set the spatial resolutions to be the average resolutions for an image or the resolutions when the data was collected. In this case, georeferencing information should be used for precise measurement.

Examples

The following example returns the spatial resolution values along the column and row (X and Y) dimensions of a GeoRaster object. (It refers to a table named GEORASTER_TABLE, whose definition is presented after Example 1-1 in Storage Parameters.)

SELECT sdo_geor.getSpatialResolutions(georaster) spatialResolution
  FROM georaster_table WHERE georid=42;
