optical conditions affecting the quality of aerial sur
vey photographs. The results attained in research
work are applied in the educational field and in prac
tical work done by the students.
7. Schools
Photogrammetry as a separate branch of techno
logy is tought — as part of the curriculum of geodesy
and cartography — at three Czechoslovak schools of
university standard, in Prague, Brno and Bratislava.
In addition, students of architecture, civil and con
structional engineering, forestry and geology are
tought the fundamentals of photogrammetry as part
of their geodetical instruction.
This basic photogrammetrical training continues
through three semester terms. The total extent of lec
tures, training, and field- and laboratory-practice
sums up to more than 300 hours. (In the fourth-year
winter semester 2 hours lectures and 2 hours training
weekly; in the summer semester 4 hours of lectures,
4 hours of training, and a fortnight’s field practice;
in the winter semester of the lifth year 3 hours of
lectures and 3 hours of training per week).
All those schools have their photogrammetric
laboratories, well equipped for terrestrial photogram
metry (stereocomparators, phototheodolites, stereo
autographs) as well as for aerial photogrammetry
(universal photogrammetric plotters, rectifiers, stereo-
meters, multiplex instruments, and other simple aids).
The equipment facilitates intensive photogrammetric
instruction of a high quality.
8. International Cooperation in the I. S. P.
During the period covered by this report, the
CSSR. has greatly intensified her activities in the
International Society of Photogrammetry. At the X th
1. S. P. Congress in Lisbon, Czechoslovakia has been
elected to the chairmanship of the IV th Commission,
and during the four years past she has discharged
the duties ensuing from this appointment. One of the
chief successes of these activities was the International
Photogrammetric Symposium held in Prague, in 1966.
It attracted an extensive international participation
and has fulfilled its mission very satisfactorily.
Czechoslovak photogrammetrists took an active
part in various symposia and conferences organized
by other I. S. P. Commissions. They were active in
the international tests organized by the III rd and IV th
Commissions, as well as in the activities of the work
ing groups of Commissions II and IV; they were also
charged with leading the special-interest groups IV/5
on criteria of photogrammetric accuracy.
