RICS Geomatics has produced a new, 5th edition 2010, guidance note on vertical aerial photography and digital imagery. This new international guidance note <https://communities.rics.org/connect.ti/Wikigeo/groupHome> recognises the shift in demand from panchromatic film and photographic products to the use of digital cameras and sensors to capture the vertical images. To aid industry penetration RICS Geomatics guidance and the very popular geo client guide series are now available from WikiGeo https://communities.rics.org/connect.ti/Wikigeo/groupHome It aims to help anyone involved in commissioning, buying or producing surveys and maps by outlining best practice and preventing duplication of effort. It provides useful guidance for drawing up clear specifications for aerial photography and digital imagery obtained directly from digital cameras and sensors, or from analogue aerial photography using digital scanners. Such specifications may be prepared by the clients requesting information or by the contractors who tender for or undertake the work. The RICS guidance is relevant to photogrammetric mapping and digital data collection, the production of orthophotography and digital mosaics and environmental information-gathering and general interpretation. Part 1 is a survey brief for completion by the client, and each section of Part 1 has a corresponding section in Part 2 combining standard specifications and guidelines. At every stage, the guidance will help the contractor advise the client on the most appropriate and effective specification for a particular project application. Do please feel free to distribute this new GN and to use within any relevant aerial surveying and mapping tender documentation.
