PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

This unit standard will enable qualifying learners to produce a digital and analogue mosaic in different contexts such as earth observation, intelligence, geo-sciences, geohydrology, archaeology, mapping of watersheds and environmental management. Learners will understand the production of an analogue and digital mosaic using image plotting. Learners will be able to apply the competencies outlined in this unit standard in different environments such as military, industry, law enforcement and mapping and surveying environments.

Qualifying learners will be able to:

Demonstrate an understanding of image plotting.

Produce an analogue mosaic.

Produce a digital mosaic.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

Apply map and related spatial information skill for decision making in the workplace at NQF Level 4.

Mathematics at NQF Level 4.

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Demonstrate an understanding of image plotting.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Vertical imagery is plotted according to geo-referencing and/or visual overlap.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Oblique imagery is plotted according to visual overlap.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

Satellite imagery is plotted according to geo-referencing.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2

Produce an analogue mosaic.

OUTCOME RANGE

Mosaics include but are not limited to controlled mosaics and uncontrolled mosaics.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Analogue images are cut utilising cutting tools and techniques whilst maintaining the emulsion and minimising distortion.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Analogue images are torn whilst maintaining the emulsion and minimising distortion.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

Analogue images are pasted together whilst maintaining the emulsion and minimising distortion.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4

Mosaic furniture are added according to the client's specifications.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE

Furniture includes but is not limited to area name, north arrow, grid lines and scale line.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5

Scale lines are drafted using the line scale formula.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 6

Analogue mosaics are eliminated to clean debris causing impurities during reproduction.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 7

Analogue mosaic is trimmed for reproduction to the total area required.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 3

Produce a digital mosaic.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Digital images are geo-referenced according to the geographical position on the earth.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Digital mosaicing software is used for manipulation purposes to filter and join images.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

Digital mosaic furniture is added according to the client's specifications.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE

Furniture includes but is not limited to area name, north arrow, grid lines, scale line.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4

The completed digital mosaic for printing is cropped to the total area required.

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD:

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
