SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS 
and 
EXPOSITION oi PHOTOGRAMMETRY 
COMMISSION V. 
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS AND MEASUREMENTS. 
General Report of Commission V of the International Society of 
Photogrammetry. 
INTRODUCTION. 
The work of the commission began by investigating the range of the 
work. The following communications were sent to the members of the com- 
mission in different countries. 
K. T. H. Stockholm 70, April 1951. 
To the Members of Commission V of the International Society of Photogrammetry. 
Hereby we have the honour to ask for your cooperation in the work before the congress 
in Washington 1952. 
We hope that the interest for the program of the commission in your country is keen 
and that you have succeeded in performing our recommendations in the letter of May 1950. 
At first we want to mention that there has been some discussion concerning the pro- 
gram of the commission. 
The program of commission V is, according to the suggestion in the »Photogrammetria» 
1940/2 p. 79, divided into two parts Vi (Application of photogrammetry in various do- 
mains) and V2 (Application of photogrammetry in medicine). 
Since there has been and probably will be some unclearness between the commission V1 
and commission IV (Application of photogrammetry and aerial photography for sur- 
veying the earth’s surface) with these programs we have suggested such a distinction 
between the commissions that commission IV should deal with the application of only 
aerial photogrammetry and photography and commission V4, with only terrestrial photo- 
grammetry. The photo interpretation of aerial photographs should belong to commission IV. 
However, no decision has been made and we suppose that the program of the com- 
mission V will be the same as suggested in »Photogrammetria» 1940, 2.
