Getting the aspect from a raster at a specified lat/long in PostGIS

I am looking for a simple example of using ST_Aspect() to find the aspect at a specified lat/long pair.

Solution

  • The following example returns the aspect of a raster created from a coordinate pair:

    SELECT 
  ST_Aspect(
    ST_AsRaster('POINT(-4.45 54.36)',1,1));
