Australian Historical Aerial Photography Collection

Geoscience Australia is responsible for the records and custody of Commonwealth aerial photography, acquired since 1928 up to the most recent analogue film capture in mid-1990s. Subsequent comparable information is available in the form of satellite imagery or direct digital aerial image capture. The majority of the landmass of Australia is covered by black and white photography at 1:80,000 scale. The near complete coverage was undertaken three times, in 1950s, 1960s and 1980s. Metadata about aerial photo surveys is recorded as flight diagrams on 1:250,000, 1:100,000 & 1:50,000 maps showing the approximate aircraft flight paths, selective depiction of photo centres, and other survey parameters. Value: Aerial imagery can be used to study change over time for land use, vegetation, environmental quality, etc. Scope: Images in the collection have been acquired since 1928 up to the most recent analogue film capture in mid-1990s.

澳大利亚地球科学局（Geoscience Australia）负责英联邦航拍影像档案的记录与保管工作，其馆藏覆盖1928年至20世纪90年代中期采集的最后一批模拟胶片航拍资料。后续同类可比资料可通过卫星影像或直接数字航空图像采集的形式获取。澳大利亚绝大多数陆地均覆盖有比例尺为1:80000的黑白航拍影像，该近乎全域覆盖的航摄任务分别于20世纪50年代、60年代及80年代分三次完成。航空摄影测量的元数据以航摄示意图的形式记录于比例尺为1:250000、1:100000及1:50000的地图中，标注内容包含大致的飞机飞行航线、像片中心的选择性标注以及其他航测参数。应用价值：本馆藏航拍影像可用于研究土地利用、植被、环境质量等要素随时间推移的动态变化。数据集范围：本馆藏影像的采集时段为1928年至20世纪90年代中期的最后一批模拟胶片航拍资料；后续同类可比资料可通过卫星影像或直接数字航空图像采集的形式获取。澳大利亚绝大多数陆地均覆盖有比例尺为1:80000的黑白航拍影像，该近乎全域覆盖的航摄任务分别于20世纪50年代、60年代及80年代分三次完成。
