Calculates the bounding rectangle of a raster object from its georeferencing information.
Syntax
geometry ST_Envelope(raster source);
geometry ST_Envelope(raster source,
integer pyramid);Parameters
Parameter Name | Description |
source | The raster object for the calculation. |
pyramid | The pyramid level. Valid values start from 0. The default value is 0. |
Description
The area outlined in red in the following figure is the bounding box of the raster object.

Example
SELECT st_astext(st_envelope(rast_object)) FROM raster_table;
