Image Scanning

The Province of Nova Scotia, as represented by Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations (SNSMR), the Nova Scotia Geomatics Centre (NSGC) has created the Nova Scotia Scanning Specification (NSSS). This document describes the requirements for scanning aerial photography.

This specification has been developed to ensure the specific quality and overall usability of the scanned aerial photography delivered to SNSMR for applications such as digital photogrammetry, orthophoto map production and for creating the digital aerial photography database.

This specification includes the general requirements for all scanning projects as well as sub-sections that provide specific requirements related to scanning roll-film, diapositives and contact prints.
