level where accuracy is essential and where
analytical interpretation must be done,
then there is little question that the ter
rain type method has much to offer. It
should be noted that the terrain type meth
od can be used for both general classes of
requirements, while it is doubtful if the
physiographic method can be used for
both.
The use of a method which is not
adapted to photo interpretation proce
dures can lead to a weakening of the final
product. Therefore the selection of the
vehicle which will best accomplish a land
classification task, whether it is for civil
or military purposes, is something needing
considerable study.
