What factors influence the cost of Image Capture?
• Spatial accuracy of the final product – For example, the current recommended standard within the Program requires independent control to be obtained to meet the standard. This often means a survey team is required to capture a number of points. This in turn impacts on the cost. If the accuracy is to the current Vicmap Property standard then no independent control is needed. Scanning resolution of the negative – Currently the Program’s recommended standard is to scan the film at 15 microns. This means the photography needs to be obtained at a lower height and therefore have a larger number of frames than if photography was scanned at 12 microns and flown at a greater height.
