7.20 SDO_GEOR.generateBitmapPyramid
Format
SDO_GEOR.generateBitmapPyramid( src_geor IN SDO_GEORASTER, tmp_geor IN OUT SDO_GEORASTER, target_geor IN OUT SDO_GEORASTER, pyramidParams IN VARCHAR2, bgValues IN SDO_NUMBER_ARRAY DEFAULT NULL, parallelParam IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, addColorMap IN NUMBER DEFAULT 1);
Description
Generates pyramid data for a bitmap GeoRaster object.
Parameters
- src_geor
-
Source GeoRaster object for which pyramid data is to be generated.
- tmp_geor
-
Temporary GeoRaster object used to store temporary data
- target_geor
-
Target GeoRaster object used to store the resulting GeoRaster data.
- pyramidParams
-
A string containing the pyramid parameters. See the Usage Notes for information about the available keywords and values.
- bgValues
-
Background values for filling partially empty raster blocks. It is only useful when the source GeoRaster object has empty raster blocks and the current operation leads to partially empty raster blocks (see Empty Raster Blocks). The number of elements in the SDO_NUMBER_ARRAY object must be either one (same filling value used for all bands) or the band dimension size (a different filling value for each band, respectively). For example,
SDO_NUMBER_ARRAY(1,5,10)
fills the first band with 1, the second band with 5, and the third band with 10. The defaultbgValues
are zero (0).The filling values must be valid cell values as specified by the target cell depth background values for filling sparse data.
- parallelParam
-
Specifies the degree of parallelism for the operation. If specified, must be in the form
parallel=
n, where n is greater than 1. The database optimizer uses the degree of parallelism specified by this parameter. If not specified, then by default there is no parallel processing. (For more information, see Parallel Processing in GeoRaster.) - addColorMap
- A number to specify whether to add a colormap to the target GeoRaster object to display roads as white. 0 (zero) does not add such a colormap; 1 (the default) or any other nonzero value adds such a colormap.
Usage Notes
For bitmap raster of points, lines, or polylines, which are typically stored in 1-bit cell depth, the pyramiding approach described in Image Pyramiding: Parallel Generation and Partial Update may not create high-quality pyramids. Distorted point patterns and dashed lines are commonly seen in those pyramids. To solve such problems, you can instead use the GeoRaster raster algebra to perform bitmap pyramiding, as explained in Bitmap Pyramiding.
pyramidParams
must be a quoted string that contains one or more of the following keywords, each with an appropriate value:
-
rLevel
(for example,rLevel=2
): Specifies the maximum reduction level: the number of pyramid levels to create at a smaller (reduced) size than the original object. If you do not specify this keyword, pyramid levels are generated until the smaller of the number of rows or columns is between 64 and 128. The dimension sizes at each lower resolution level are equal to the truncated integer values of the dimension sizes at the next higher resolution level, divided by 2. -
resampling
(for example,resampling=NN
): Specifies the resampling method. Must be one of the following:NN
,BILINEAR
,BIQUADRATIC
,CUBIC
,AVERAGE4
,AVERAGE16
. For more information, see Resampling and Interpolation.Note that for this procedure,
BILINEAR
andAVERAGE4
have the same effect. -
nodata
(for example,nodata=TRUE
): Specifies whether NODATA values and value ranges should be considered during the procedure. Must be eitherTRUE
(NODATA values and value ranges should be considered) orFALSE
(NODATA values and value ranges should not be considered). The default value isFALSE
. If the value isTRUE
and the resampling method isBILINEAR
,BIQUADRATIC
,CUBIC
,AVERAGE4
, orAVERAGE16
, whenever a cell value involved in the resampling calculation is a NODATA value, the result of the resampling is also a NODATA value. The resulting NODATA value is the minimum NODATA value associated with the current raster layer, if multiple NODATA values or value ranges exist.
If you do not specify an rLevel
value, the rLevel
value is set to the default, which is calculated as follows:
(int)(log2(a / 64))
In the preceding calculation:
-
log2
is a logarithmic function with 2 as its base. -
a
is the smaller of the original row or column dimension size.
In the default case, the smaller of the row and column dimension sizes of the top-level overview (the smallest top-level pyramid) is between 64 and 128. If you specify an rLevel
value greater than the maximum reduced-resolution level, the rLevel
value is set to the maximum reduced-resolution level, which is calculated as follows:
(int)(log2(a))
In this case, the smaller of the row and column dimension sizes of the top-level overview is 1.
Examples
The following example generates a bitmap pyramid.
DECLARE src_gr sdo_georaster; tmp_gr sdo_georaster; target_gr sdo_georaster; BEGIN SELECT georaster INTO src_gr FROM georaster_table WHERE georid = 6; SELECT georaster INTO tmp_gr FROM georaster_table WHERE georid = 7 FOR UPDATE; SELECT georaster INTO target_gr FROM georaster_table WHERE georid = 8 FOR UPDATE; -- Generate bitmap pyramids. sdo_geor.generateBitmapPyramid(src_gr,tmp_gr,target_gr 'rLevel=5, resampling=NN'); -- Update the target GeoRaster object. UPDATE georaster_table SET georaster =target_gr WHERE georid = 8; END; /
