Because the government has set very stringent standards for all of their contracts, often well qualified firms simply won't bid because they don't know where to go to find the criteria federal officials will use to judge their proposals.
This is particularly true in any business that will need to create topographic aerial photographs, maps or images for their contract proposal. It is an equal challenge for photograph labs that want to process these vitally important images. This manual is applicable for any company that:
Product Summary This 371 page government guide is broken down into 11 easy to follow chapters plus six appendices and a glossary - so you can find exactly what you are looking for. Chapter One introduces the fundamentals of the government standards that apply to projects related to aerial photography. It explains the standards and metrics used by the government and supplies ample references. It then has a section explaining how to use the book and get the most out of it. All abbreviations and terms used in the book are detailed. Chapter Two explains the standards the government uses for Photogrammetric Accuracy. After a short introduction the chapter is broken down into sections that describe USACE Standards, ASPRS Accuracy Standards as well as government mapping criteria. All mandatory requirements are outlined. Chapter Three explains the Photogrammetric Process used by the government. It details how imagery should be acquired and goes into approved quality control standards. The ways images need to be adjusted to the Earth are outlined. Chapter Four is dedicated to Photogrammetric Mapping Planning and Cost Estimating Principles. The guide explains what you need to know when estimating time and costs with your bid. It explains the principles of Photo Scale, Contour Interval, and Target Map Scale Determination and Data Compatibility. How project specifications and contract parameters are used is discussed in detail. Orthophoto Images are explained. Finally you are given a Sample Scope of Work and Cost Estimate. Chapter Five discusses Aerial Photography. From the rules of Subcontracted Photography to the Types of Aerial Cameras that may be used, you will find many helpful sections in this chapter. Filters, films and diapositives are explained in detail. Finally there is a discussion of what sorts of deliverable the government expects. Chapter Six gets into Structural Evaluation. This includes Coordinate Reference Systems and the Ground Control Requirements for Photogrammetric Mapping. As in other chapters Accuracy Standards and expected deliverables are outlined in detail. Chapter Seven lays out the common techniques of Airborne Global Positioning Systems. From ABGPS to Project Planning, all possible considerations are addressed. ABGPS Project Configurations and Quality Control Measures each receive their own subsection. Chapter Eight brings us to Analytical Aerotriangulation. Softcopy Methods and Pass Points are given their own subsections. Instrumentation and Stereoplotter Settings are outlined in precise detail. Finally expected deliverables are explained. Chapter Nine is all about Stereocompilation Procedures. The Types of Stereoplotters and their operations are covered in a step by step fashion. Line Map Compilation Procedures feature prominently in this chapter, as does the Compilation of Topography. The chapter ends with a discussion of reproduction and deliverables. Chapter Ten is dedicated to the Compilation of Topography. Image quality, workstation details and production procedures are all explained. There is also a course on the Limitations of Orthophotography. Chapter Eleven brings us to the end of the main section of the guide with Airborne LIDAR Topographic Surveying. Operating Principles as well as the Capabilities and Limitations of this method are explained in easy to follow terms. Quality Control and Contracting Issues each have their own section. Finally the guide provides a list of other sources of information. Appendix A provides all references used in the guide. Appendix B provides planimetric and topographic feature depiction specifications. Appendix C is a guide specification for photogrammetric mapping and aerial photography services. Appendix D provides ASPRS accuracy standards for large-scale maps. Appendix E is a sample metadata file Appendix F provides a sample SOW It's So Easy!
