Historical Imagery 1947
Current and historic imagery form an important part of the NSW Foundation
Spatial Data Framework and provide a valuable resource which is widely accessed
by government and the broader community on a daily basis. As the completeness
of this data base continues, its market demand also increases across a broad
range of applications.
Spatial Services aerial imagery
was originally captured using a verity of cameras including the Wild RC-5, RC-10
and Leica RC-30 cameras with a variety of lenses with focal lengths of 88mm,
153mm and 304mm. Images were captured in monochrome or colour during this
period at a range of scales. Capture scales ranged from 1:5 000 to 1:80 000.
The Historical Air Photo
Enhancement program (HAPE) not only allows the capability to search, discover
and use source imagery, but also provides the delivery and viewing of enhanced
historic rectified imagery mosaics. This new development means the community at
large can now access and utilise spatially accurate historic imagery:
1. Through the
Historical
Imagery Viewer
2. Directly in
a wide range for GIS Mapping applications as a Web map Tile Service
(WMTS). See below for instructions
3. Order the
JP2 Mosaics direct and use locally. Contact us via the Customer
Hub.

Accuracy
Assessment of positional accuracy for each mosaic
was undertaken using a 5km x 5km grid. An overall accuracy of +/- 20m for 95%
of the 100k map sheet was targeted.
The HAPE mosaic was assessed for positional
accuracy at a scale of 1:10,000 using ADS 50cm imagery.
