The
most recent colour aerial photographs at the time
of the study, taken in January 1997, were acquired
from the Lands Department. A total of 53 photos
covering the whole territory were selected. The
photos were taken from aircraft at an elevation
of 20,000 feet with a camera lens of focal length
6 inches (0.5 feet), which translates to a scale
of 1:40,000 (20,000 / 0.5) in the captured images.
Detail information on the aerial photos are presented
in Table 4.1b.
The
photos were purchased as contact prints, a medium
which was deemed more suitable for the study than
colour dipositives because:
A
number of the aerial photos covering Lantau Island
were found to be affected by cloud and haze. In
this case, data sources other than the aerial
photos were used for data reference.

Note:
A total of 59 colour aerial photographs were purchased
from the Survey and Mapping Office of the Lands
Department. Of these, six were redundant (as marked
by b) and therefore had not been used for ortho-rectification.
