Conduct photogrammetric mapping

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to interpret information from various types of image data to conduct photogrammetric mapping. The unit covers assessing the survey area and project requirements to determine the types and possible sources of image data to meet project specifications as well as identifying constraints. The unit also covers visually analysing image data against spatial reference systems and ground controls for photogrammetric mapping. The unit requires the ability to measure and calculate information obtained from image data; identify and resolve problems; and implement project management techniques.

The unit supports those who work in a lead role in a spatial information services team in cartography, mapping and geographic information systems (GIS).

No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
