agreed that research and information on the making of extensive small scale 
photogrammetric surveys with the aid of electronic methods was also very 
important for Commission IV.) 
2. The international contacts at the Congresses are too widely spaced for 
effectual contributions to result from the exchange of ideas. The Commission 
wishes that special international meetings might be held more frequently at 
the initiative of the Presidents of the Commissions.” 
President Reading: If I understood the first resolution correctly, it stated 
that the main task of Commission IV should be large scale surveys. I would 
like to ask Prof. Dore if he would agree to saying one of the main tasks is that? 
There are also great areas of the world that need extensive surveys, and if I 
understand the field of Commission IV correctly, it should include the actual 
mapping techniques of all styles; therefore, I would ask Prof. Dore if he 
objects to changing the wording of his first resolution to one of the main tasks, 
rather than the main task should be large scale surveys. 
It was explained that Commission IV text literally states that the com 
mittee has decided to put in the foreground of its present occupation the study 
of processes and methods, which would adequately meet the point raised. With 
this explanation the resolutions were unanimously adopted. 
Prof. Hallert read the resolutions of Commission V — Miscellaneous Ap 
plications 
“Commission V recommends the following in order to increase the appli 
cation of non-topographic photogrammetry : 
1. As soon as possible more photogrammetrists should try to give more 
attention to the use of photogrammetry for other purposes than topographic 
mapping. Countless fields have not taken advantage of the aid photogramme 
try might render them. Of special interest in our time is the use of photogram 
metry for permitting an accurate, nearly ageless reconstruction of natural or 
man-made features that under present circumstances are threatened by more or 
less rapid destruction. The very important value of stereoscopic photographs 
exposed during peacetime for later measurements needs no special discussion. 
In many sciences measuring is an integral part of the scientific procedure. 
Photogrammetry can increase the efficiency of the material aspects of these 
sciences, and therefore photogrammetists should give more attention to the pos 
sibilities of their science metrically supporting other sciences. 
2. The manufacturers of photogrammetric instruments should be stimulated 
and guided to make suitable types of cameras and other facilities. The need for 
such instruments must be stated by the photogrammetrists themselves. 
3. There must be a closer liaison and coordination established between the 
photogrammetrists and other scientists or possible users of photogrammetric 
methods. The photogrammetrists should publicize the diverse ways in which 
photogrammetry may metrically serve other sciences. 
4. Photogrammetric training, both textbooks and classroom instruction, 
should also include the photogrammetric methods and instrumentation in non- 
topographic applications. 
5. The national societies or delegations are advised to inform the repre 
sentatives of their countries in UNESCO that this Congress has stated that the 
photogrammetric technique is able to assist in collecting sufficient data for
