### CDB_SpatialInterpolation (query text, point geometry, method integer DEFAULT 1, p1 integer DEFAULT 0, ps integer DEFAULT 0)
#### Arguments
| Name | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| query | text | query that returns at least `the_geom` and a numeric value as `attrib` |
| point | geometry | The target point to calc the value |
| method | integer | 0:nearest neighbor, 1: barycentric, 2: IDW|
2016-09-20 18:57:41 +08:00
| p1 | integer | limit the number of neighbors, IDW: 0->no limit, NN: 0-> closest one|
2016-06-14 23:55:45 +08:00
| p2 | integer | IDW: order of distance decay, 0-> order 1|
### CDB_SpatialInterpolation (geom geometry[], values numeric[], point geometry, method integer DEFAULT 1, p1 integer DEFAULT 0, ps integer DEFAULT 0)
#### Arguments
| Name | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| geom | geometry[] | Array of points's geometries |
| values | numeric[] | Array of points' values for the param under study|
| point | geometry | The target point to calc the value |
| method | integer | 0:nearest neighbor, 1: barycentric, 2: IDW|
2016-09-20 18:57:41 +08:00
| p1 | integer | limit the number of neighbors, IDW: 0->no limit, NN: 0-> closest one|
2016-06-14 23:55:45 +08:00
| p2 | integer | IDW: order of distance decay, 0-> order 1|
### Returns
| Column Name | Type | Description |
|-------------|------|-------------|
| value | numeric | Interpolated value at the given point, `-888.888` if the given point is out of the boundaries of the source points set |
#### Example Usage
```sql
with a as (
select
array_agg(the_geom) as geomin,
array_agg(temp::numeric) as colin
from table_4804232032
)
SELECT CDB_SpatialInterpolation(geomin, colin, CDB_latlng(41.38, 2.15),1) FROM a;
```
