Non riuscivo a smettere di pensarci ... Sono stato in grado di elaborare una Stored Procedure per eseguire il conteggio dei loop. Il percorso di esempio contiene 109 loop!
Ecco i punti di volo mostrati con i centroidi del loop in rosso:
Fondamentalmente, scorre attraverso i punti nell'ordine in cui sono stati catturati e costruisce una linea mentre scorre i punti. Quando la linea che stiamo costruendo crea un loop (usando ST_BuildArea) quindi contiamo un loop e ricominciamo a costruire una linea da quel punto.
Questa funzione restituisce un recordset di ciascun loop che contiene il numero del loop, la sua geometria, il suo punto iniziale / finale e il suo centroide (l'ho anche ripulito un po 'e ho creato nomi di variabili migliori):
DROP FUNCTION test.find_loop_count(flightid int);
create function test.find_Loop_count(
IN flightid int,
OUT loopnumber int,
OUT loopgeometry geometry,
OUT loopstartend geometry,
OUT loopcentroid geometry
)
RETURNS SETOF record AS

-- s schema 'test' must exist
-- a table 'points' of flight points must exist
-- we are going to iterate through the point path, building a line as we go
-- If the line creates a loop then we count a loop and start over building a new line
-- add the intersection point to the returning recordset
-- add the centroid of the loop to the resulting recordset
-- pass in the flight ID of the flight that you wish to count its loops for example:
-- SELECT * FROM find_loop_count(37);

Questa è una semplice funzione per restituire solo il conteggio dei loop:
