public interface Coverage
A function from a spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal domain to an attribute range. A coverage associates a position within its domain to a record of values of defined data types. Examples include a raster image, polygon overlay, or digital elevation matrix. The essential property of coverage is to be able to generate a value for any point within its domain. How coverage is represented internally is not a concern.For example consider the following different internal representations of coverage:
- A coverage may be represented by a set of polygons which exhaustively tile a plane (that is each point on the plane falls in precisely one polygon). The value returned by the coverage for a point is the value of an attribute of the polygon that contains the point.
- A coverage may be represented by a grid of values (a Discrete Grid Point Coverage). If the coverage is a Continuous Quadrilateral Grid Coverage using Nearest Neighbour interpolation method, then the value returned by the coverage for a point is that of the grid value whose location is nearest the point.
- Coverage may be represented by a mathematical function. The value returned by the coverage for a point is just the return value of the function when supplied the coordinates of the point as arguments.
- Coverage may be represented by combination of these. For example, coverage may be represented by a combination of mathematical functions valid over a set of polynomials.
Metadata
The legacy OGC 01-004 specification provided some methods for fetching metadata values attached to a coverage. The ISO 19123 specification do not provides such methods. Implementations that want to provide such metadata are encouraged to implement thePropertySource
orWritablePropertySource
interface.- Since:

getCoordinateReferenceSystem
CoordinateReferenceSystem getCoordinateReferenceSystem()
Returns the coordinate reference system to which the objects in its domain are referenced. This is the CRS used when accessing a coverage or grid coverage with theevaluate(...)
methods. This coordinate reference system is usually different than coordinate system of the grid. It is the target coordinate reference system of thegridToCRS
math transform.Grid coverage can be accessed (re-projected) with new coordinate reference system with the
GridCoverageProcessor
component. In this case, a new instance of a grid coverage is created.- Returns:
- The coordinate reference system used when accessing a coverage or grid coverage with
the
evaluate(...)
methods.
-
getEnvelope
Bounds getEnvelope()
The bounding box for the coverage domain in coordinate reference system coordinates. For grid coverages, the grid cells are centered on each grid coordinate. The envelope for a 2-D grid coverage includes the following corner positions.(Minimum row - 0.5, Minimum column - 0.5) for the minimum coordinates (Maximum row - 0.5, Maximum column - 0.5) for the maximum coordinates
- Returns:
- The bounding box for the coverage domain in coordinate system coordinates.
-
getRangeType
RecordType getRangeType()
Describes the range of the coverage. It consists of a list of attribute name/data type pairs. A simple list is the most common form of range type, butRecordType
can be used recursively to describe more complex structures. The range type for a specific coverage shall be specified in an application schema.- Returns:
- The coverage range.
-
evaluate
Set<Record> evaluate(Position p, Collection<String> list) throws PointOutsideCoverageException, CannotEvaluateException
Returns a set of records of feature attribute values for the specified direct position. The parameterlist
is a sequence of feature attribute names each of which identifies a field of the range type. Iflist
is null, the operation shall return a value for every field of the range type. Otherwise, it shall return a value for each field included inlist
. If the direct position passed is not in the domain of the coverage, then an exception is thrown. If the input direct position falls within two or more geometric objects within the domain, the operation shall return records of feature attribute values computed according to the common point rule.NOTE: Normally, the operation will return a single record of feature attribute values.
- Parameters:
p
- The position where to evaluate.list
- The field of interest, ornull
for every fields.- Returns:
- The feature attributes.
- Throws:
PointOutsideCoverageException
- if the point is outside the coverage domain.CannotEvaluateException
- If the point can't be evaluated for some other reason.
