RS_PixelAsPoints

Introduction: Returns a list of the pixel's upper-left corner point geometry, the pixel value and its raster X and Y coordinates for each pixel in the raster at the specified band.

Format: RS_PixelAsPoints(raster: Raster, band: Integer)

Since: v1.5.1

SQL Example

SELECT ST_AsText(RS_PixelAsPoints(raster, 1)) from rasters

Output:

[[POINT (-13065223 4021262.75),148.0,0,0], [POINT (-13065150 4021262.75),123.0,0,1], [POINT (-13065078 4021262.75),99.0,1,0], [POINT (-13065006 4021262.75),140.0,1,1]]

Spark SQL example for extracting Point, value, raster x and y coordinates:

val pointDf = sedona.read...
val rasterDf = sedona.read.format("binaryFile").load("/some/path/*.tiff")
var df = sedona.read.format("binaryFile").load("/some/path/*.tiff")
df = df.selectExpr("RS_FromGeoTiff(content) as raster")

df.selectExpr(
  "explode(RS_PixelAsPoints(raster, 1)) as exploded"
).selectExpr(
  "exploded.geom as geom",
  "exploded.value as value",
  "exploded.x as x",
  "exploded.y as y"
).show(3)

Output:
