Scanning
Graphic Services has been at the forefront of scanning technology since the late 1980's when we purchased the first graphic arts scanner in the public service.
Our scanning services include photographs, diagrams, visual art, line drawings, maps and aerial photography. We are also implementing high-volume scanning production to enable electronic delivery of the large quantity of Lands documentation required by our customers.
Scanning in detail
Our photogrammetric scanner is specifically designed for capturing detailed images from negatives, diapositives and prints at high resolution. It has the advantage of radiometric and geometric accuracy, which is needed for a high-quality reproduction of the image. Specifically, we use the photogrametric scanner for building the Lands library of aerial images, which can then be used for aerial and mapping products.
Our scanning products include:
- Topographic aerial images
- Property aerial images
- Digital mosaics
- High resolution aerial image library
- Low resolution online aerial image library
Large format documents and plans
As part of the Department of Lands, we understand the need to archive large and fragile documents that are being handled on a regular basis - and the emerging desire to provide more records and documents to customers in digital format. We are highly skilled and experienced in scanning large format documents and plans which we provide to customers as a high resolution digital copy that can be used in an online environment or stored for recording purposes.
Small format documents and plans
In addition to large format scanners, smaller format models are used to capture original titles, plans, and maps that fit into an A3 format.

We perform graphic arts scanning has been performed for use in the design and production of both in-house and external customer publications. Images can be scanned from negatives, transparencies, printed copy, photographic prints or artwork. Our current scanner is capable of a true resolution of 8000dpi, which enables operators to capture exceptional high quality images.
