Geospatial Operations

Kinetica has several geospatial-specific operations, as listed below. For more information on each, refer to the Functions section of the documentation.

Append and Merge Records

Name	Description
Append Records	Appends records from an existing table or view to another table or view
Merge records	Merge records from two existing tables or views together into a new view

Filters

Name	Description
Filter Geometry by Area	Creates a view by filtering a dataset for geospatial geometry objects intersecting a 2-D polygon
Filter Geometry by Box	Creates a view by filtering a dataset for geospatial geometry objects intersecting a rectangle's boundary
Filter by Geometry	Creates a view by applying a geometry filter against a spatial column (e.g., column with WKT annotations) in a given table
Filter Geometry by Radius	Creates a view by filtering a dataset for geospatial geometry objects intersecting a circle's boundary
Filter by Series	Creates a view containing all records from the source table that are part of the given track

Retrieving Track Data

Name	Description
Get Records By Series	Retrieves complete series/track records

Aggregation Functions

Name	Description
Aggregate Convex Hull	Calculates and returns the smallest set containing the convex hull for the values in the given table
Aggregate Min/Max Geometry	Calculates the minimum and maximum x- and y- coordinates of a geospation geometry column in a dataset
Dissolve	Dissolves all geometries within a given set into a single geometry. Note that the resulting single geometry can still be a group of noncontinguous geometries but represented as a single group.
