Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Apply photogrammetric data to project.
  2. Calculate information from image data.
  3. Interpret and store image data.

Range Statement

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Photogrammetric data must include at least two of the following:

aerial survey

computer vision

geoinformatics

geomatics engineering images

GeoPhoto

stereoplotter

three-dimensional data acquisition and object reconstruction

videogrammetry.


Performance Evidence

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit. The person must also conduct photogrammetric mapping of data images from a range of sources for two different projects.

While conducting the above photogrammetric mapping, the person must:

analyse project specifications to clarify the types of image data required and the project survey area, which include:

aerial photographs

other forms of digital data in the horizontal or vertical plane

develop a project plan and implement project management techniques to plan, schedule, monitor and report on project activities

apply ground controls for photogrammetric mapping, including:

pre-marked targets

primary ground control

post-marked targets

secondary control

analyse photogrammetric images to calculate information and measure and identify scale

communicate clearly with others to clarify and negotiate project tasks

comply with organisational requirements relating to:

completing records and documentation

health and safety when using screen-based equipment

data privacy and information copyright

identify and resolve constraints and problems with image data

record and interpret statistics with accuracy and precision

research and access sources of photogrammetric data

use a computer and software applications to access, analyse and store photogrammetric data.


Knowledge Evidence

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:

legal and administrative requirements for accessing, using and storing photogrammetric data, including data privacy and information copyright

organisational policies and procedures relating to:

accessing and formatting image data and managing quality

health and safety when using screen-based equipment

possible sources of image data

properties and characteristics of photogrammetric data used in mapping

relevant industry requirements and standards relating to photogrammetric mapping

requirements for ground control in the photogrammetric process

set out and format requirements for image data
