Hi Pierre,

I could try my hand at this as a PL/pgSQL function.  Can't help with the
C++... :)

I'm thinking ST_Densify ala Paul deriving the densification from the cell
size of the input raster, then use st_dumppoints and st_intersects, and then
reconstruct to 3D line (or am I thinking too low level to be efficient).

Best,
Steve

Hi Stephen,

It would certainly be very nice to have a generic function doing it:

SELECT  ST_SetMFromRaster(geom, rast)  geom
FROM mylines, myrast
WHERE ST_Intersects(geom, rast)
