Abstract


During the last years, ways and means to obtain digital Orthophoto mosaics have become more varied in Ghana. Whereas former specifications tried to get a perfect product by specifying the input like flying height, photo quality, camera properties, Digital Terrain Model (DTM) spacing and many other input parameters, these specifications and performance requirements change the view to an output oriented approach where only the quality of the desired final product is specified, while the way to produce it is left to the technical skills and the economic assessment of the contractors. The Government of Ghana has received a credit from the Nordic Development Fund toward the cost of Land Administration Project and has offered to apply part of the proceeds of this credit to payments under the Contract for the Provision of Orthophoto Maps in Colour for Various Parts of Ghana (IFB No. NoCB MLFM/LAP 1/SD/06/01). The Services are the Provision of Digital Orthophoto Maps in Colour for Land Use Planning and Management under the Land Administration Project (LAP). This project is being undertaken by RUDAN Engineering Limited and FINNMAP International, to be abbreviated FR, in collaboration with Survey Department (SD), LAP Unit (LAPU) as well as the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources (formerly called Ministry of Lands, Forestry and Mines – MLFM). This presentation shall capture any known previous work and the current state of the project with respect to the methodologies being used, challenges and some conclusions and recommendations.
