Functions for Working with S2 Index

S2 is a geographical indexing system where all geographical data is represented on a three-dimensional sphere (similar to a globe).

In the S2 library points are represented as the S2 Index - a specific number which encodes internally a point on the surface of a unit sphere, unlike traditional (latitude, longitude) pairs. To get the S2 point index for a given point specified in the format (latitude, longitude) use the geoToS2 function. Also, you can use the s2ToGeo function for getting geographical coordinates corresponding to the specified S2 point index.

geoToS2

Returns S2 point index corresponding to the provided coordinates (longitude, latitude).

Syntax

geoToS2(lon, lat)

Arguments

• lon — Longitude. Float64.
• lat — Latitude. Float64.

Returned values

• S2 point index.

Type: UInt64.

Example

Query:

SELECT geoToS2(37.79506683, 55.71290588) AS s2Index;

Result:

┌─────────────s2Index─┐
│ 4704772434919038107 │
└─────────────────────┘

s2ToGeo

Returns geo coordinates (longitude, latitude) corresponding to the provided S2 point index.
