I'm discovering PostGIS for myself and right now I'm stuck at the point with clusters. Found some tips about how to make clusters on point layer in PostGIS by using ST_ClusterWithin function. Right now I can display a clean cluster centroid data with no any other parameters.

This is my script:

SELECT 
  ST_NumGeometries(cwn) as num_geoms,
  ST_Centroid(cwn) AS centroid
FROM (
    SELECT unnest(ST_ClusterWithin("GEOM", 0.1)) cwn
    FROM geodata
) f

My another goal is to display some stats like quantity of specific values (0 and 1) in result table.

This is scematic picture of what I need. When cluster and its centroid are created, I'd like to see how many zeros or ones were taken from original points.

So the result should be like this

num_geoms | centroid        | zeros | ones |
----------+-----------------+-------+-------
        4 | geometry_object | 1     | 3    |     
        4 | geometry_object | 3     | 1    |     
        4 | geometry_object | 2     | 2    |   

I'm pretty sure that this can be made, but still haven't got an idea of how to make a correct query.

    You want to use ST_ClusterDBSCAN - see e.g. my answer here.

  • @geozelot thanks for this fucntion, just made a script that creates a desired output. You may take a look at my answer and tell if that can be optimized. Commented Aug 16, 2021 at 15:33

With a piece of advice by @geozelot I have found a solution. There are two fields that take part in query:

  • "GEOM" - basic geometry field with point data
  • "SOLVED" - int number field that contain only 0 or 1 values.

My goal was to get clusters with internal geometry number and sums of zeros and ones to make them look like that:

enter image description here

It means that cluster has 8 points within, three of them (green sector) have value 1 in field "SOLVED" and the rest points have 0 (red sector).

Final script looks like:

WITH stat AS (
SELECT
    "SOLVED",
    "GEOM",
    ST_ClusterDBSCAN("GEOM", eps := 0.1, minpoints := 1) over () AS cluster_id  
FROM
    geodata
)

SELECT 
   stat.cluster_id, 
   ST_NumGeometries(unnest(ST_ClusterWithin(stat."GEOM", 0.1))) as num_geoms,
   ST_Centroid(ST_MinimumBoundingCircle(unnest(ST_ClusterWithin(stat."GEOM", 0.1)))) AS centroid,
   SUM(CASE when stat."SOLVED"=0 then 1 else 0 end ) zeros,
   SUM(CASE when stat."SOLVED"> 0 then stat."SOLVED" else 0 end ) ones
   FROM stat
GROUP BY stat.cluster_id

The result will look like:

cluster_id | num_geoms | centroid        | zeros | ones |
-----------+-----------+-----------------+-------+------+
 0         | 8         | geometry_object | 4     | 4    |
 1         | 1         | geometry_object | 0     | 1    |
 2         | 1         | geometry_object | 1     | 0    |
 3         | 1         | geometry_object | 0     | 1    |
