Burkina Faso is updating its national cartography
The country of Burkina Faso is updating its mapping at a scale of 1:200,000, much like Senegal did recently. This project, backed by European financing in the context of the 10th European Development Fund, will be entirely completed by the Geographic Institute of Burkina (IGB) with technical support from IGN France International. This project which will last three years will allow for the creation of 34 topographic maps at a scale of 1:200,000 as well as the updating of the national topographic database. The project's different products will strengthen the national heritage of spatial reference data that will be made available to administrations, the private sector or civil society for better decision-making. |

25 years of technological advancements: Geographic information, an ever changing fieldIn 1986, the same year that the SPOT 1 satellite was launched, IGN France International was born. It is thus celebrating 25 years of existence, which gives us the perfect opportunity to look back at the most significant technological evolutions of the last 25 years with Christophe DEKEYNE, IGN FI’s Business Development Manager. “What about geographic information has changed over the last 25 years? Practically everything! No GPS, no digital photogrammetry, no Lidar, no computers, no internet … It seems almost prehistoric! |

Tunisia's aerial cartography: the training beginsTraining sessions for the Tunisian personnel of the CNCT (National Centre of Cartography and Remote Sensing) and the OTC (Office of Topography and Cartography) that are meant to help the implementation of an Intergraph DMC camera continued in France with a week-long session at Moulins in the Allier region. The Tunisian Ministry of Defense signed a contract in 2009 for the acquisition of an aerial photography aircraft (F406 from Reims Aviation Industries of the GECI Group) and a digital video camera (DMC I) and sent four aircraft photographers (Captain Gasbi and lieutenant ESSAFI for the CNCT and Mrs. Hetem REBAI and Hichem BEN MOUSSA for the OTC) to France in early September for a practical training session organised by IGN FI. After visiting the Aerial Activities Department of the French IGN in Creil on the first day, the trainees moved to the airfields of MOULINS-BEUGNY where the APEI (Aéro Photo Europe Investigation) company is based and has been operating two DMC video cameras for several years now. Two of APEI's aircraft photographers led the training session using both theoretical and practical exercises to illustrate the entire image acquisition process:
With the help of favourable weather, each trainee was able to participate in several flights and to operate the camera him or herself, under the supervision of the trainer. The trainees were also able to perform processing with a pixel size ranging from 5-20 cm on several photographs taken during the training flights. |

IGN France International will supervise work for the updating of Cameroon's geodetic network
The updating of this geodetic network clearly stands out as a priority defined in the action plan created by the government for the period from 2010-2020. Even though each city had its own local network, these networks were not connected to each other, nor were they united on a national level. They were not at all compatible with modern positioning technologies, more specifically with GPS. Read the rest of the press release on geodetic supervision in Cameroon

Gabon is a country full of mineral and environmental resources. The country wishes to develop an appropriate economic strategy that will allow them to benefit from these resources without destroying or depleting them, all the while striving towards well balanced management of the territory. It is with this in mind that the President of the Republic created the priority sectors of Green Gabon, Gabon Services and Industrial Gabon within his societal “Emerging Gabon” programme. In order to better accompany this strategic vision, the General Directorate of the Budget initiated the National Geomatic Plan (NGP).
The group comprised of IGN France International, Bull and the Superior Council of Notaries (CSN) completed a study for the plan to modernise and update the land system of three main cities in Vietnam: Hanoi, Danang and Ho Chi Minh. The project was divided into several phases: the analysis of legal foundations and an inventory for the modernisation of the land administration system, the modernisation of the system of cadastral files, capacity building for LROs (Land Registry), the modernisation of the information system and proposals for the improvement of the single information point mechanism.
