Recently, the Radio and Electrical Engineering
Division of the National Research Council of Canada has
developed a modified APR instrumentation which appears to
have considerable potential for use in heavily forested
areas. In this instrument, the time measurement is made
at the peak of the return pulse which would correspond to
the energy reflected by the ground. Experiments are being
conducted at the present time to evaluate the potential of
this new instrumentation as a possible tool for establish-
ing vertical control in forested areas.
AERIAL TRIANGULATION
The mapping system described in the foregoing para-
graphs includes instrumentation (horizon camera and Statoscope) d -
which determine the tip and tilt of the aerial camera at the
moment of exposure and give differences in elevation between
exposure stations. This auxiliary data minimizes the require-
ment for vertical control and permits the use of simple
instruments such as the Wild B.8 for aerial triangulation.
The application of horizon camera data and Statoscope
to aerial triangulation has been described by the author in
(9).
It would appear that aerial triangulation by the method
