### Aereal Weighting
|
||||
|
||||
Aereal weighting is a simple interpolation technique to assign a value
|
||||
to a polygon given a set of polygons with one value assigned to each one.
|
||||
|
||||
The value is assigned by averaging the values of intersecting areas
|
||||
weighted by the intersection area.
|
||||
|
||||
Its accuracy depends on the values assigned to reference areas being
|
||||
homogeneous over each area.
|
||||
|
||||
The `cdb_overlap_function` takes three required parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
* `geometry` a Polygon geometry which defines the area where a value will be
|
||||
estimated.
|
||||
* `table_name`: name of the values table that provides the source values;
|
||||
this table must have a geometric column `the_geom` containing the polygons
|
||||
to which values are assigned.
|
||||
* `column_name`: name of the column that contains the values in the values
|
||||
table (should be a numeric column)
|
||||
|
||||
There's also an additional optional parameter to define the schema to which
|
||||
the values table belongs. This is necessary only if it is not in the
|
||||
`search_path`. Note that `table_name` should never include the schema in it.
|
||||
|
||||
* `schema_name` name of the schema that contains the values table
|
||||
|
||||
This function returns a numeric value resulting from the aggregation
|
||||
of the polygons in
