Provision of high-resolution Aerial Photographs and satellite imagery for the 2019 Kenya population and housing census mapping

Project in brief

The project entailed the acquisition of aerial photographs and satellite images. The aerial and satellite images were used to create precise maps of geographic areas, including urban, rural, and remote regions. These maps served as the foundation for the Kenya 2019 census enumeration, helping census officials accurately define enumeration areas and boundaries. The following tasks were performed in the undertaking of this project;

Data acquisition;

  • Contracted Digital Globe-earth Watch satellite imagery providers to collect data and ensured that the data collected was timely and of the required quality.
  • Conducted aerial photography mapping.

Data Processing:

  • Processed the raw data to correct for geometric and radiometric distortions.
  • Removed clouds, shadows, and other artifacts that may obscure the data.
  • Georeferenced the imagery to ensure accurate alignment with real-world coordinates.

Image Enhancement: Color balancing and contrast to improve Image visibility.


User Support and training: Trained the client on image interpretation, analysis, and software to use in processing the data.
