Basically (I use the old sub query style): SELECT ST_Union(ST_AsRaster(g.geom, ref.rast, '32BUI', g.id, 0))) rast FROM (SELECT ST_MakeEmptyRaster(1, 1, 0, 0, 1, -1, 0, 0, 0) AS rast) ref, mygeomtable g
however if your raster is high resolution ST_Union might be impractically slow. The other technique untill we get a faster ST_Union is to use ST_MapAlgebraFct and write your own function returning the geometry value from the intersection with the centroid of the pixel. See this example http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2012-April/033875.html I agree this is relatively cumbersome but it should be much faster than ST_Union.
