Allied to color photography are the suggestions from several countries for further
study of the possibilities of photography with narrow spectral bands for special No c
purposes. For example, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology suggests the
use of false color photography, including special filters predetermined by an Com
airborne spectro-photometer for mapping areas covered by specific crops.

It is quite noteworthy that no reply stated the improvement of lenses, emulsions,
or shutters as a major problem. This must be very gratifying to the manufacturers ^ m
whose improved products are such an advance on what was available some fifteen elic;
years ago. While there are possibilities for even greater advances, it is evident kno\
that other problems loom larger in the general practice of aerial photogrammetry (Sirr
today. ^ * £

However, the improvement of image quality is not necessarily unimportant; for tran
example, a practical srabilized mounting might be easier to develop for a small exaI
camera, which for the same information content would necessarily have to give Q f t(
higher resolution and would require correspondingly improved printing and viewing up _|
techniques.
