I. GENERAL FEATURES 
A. Introduction 
Photogrammetry is practically the only surveying method 
in todays official mapping in Norway. 
Because of more intensity in all planning (town planning, 
engineering planning, area planning, agriculture and forestry 
planning etc.), the production of maps on all usual scales has 
accelerated during the last years. Photogrammetry is also used 
as special photogrammetry in geology, archeology, agriculture, 
forestry and other special fields. 
B. Photography 
In Norway photogrammetric mapping is based exclusively 
on vertical photography. The cameras used are Wild RC 8. 
All aerial vertical photography for mapping is provided

2. Norfly a/s 
under license from the Ministry of Defence. 
C. Mapping Institutions 
Photogrammetry is used by the following governmental 
institutions:
