There appears to have been little new activity in Australia during the last four years.
Work in Victoria on ophthalmological measurement is documented in papers by Crock
(1969, 1970). In Queensland, equipment has been manufactured and procedures have been
developed to a point of high efficiency for the measurement of movements of the human
body (standard deviations at natural scale of the order of 2 mm); several hundred stereo-
pairs have been measured in a project described in Bullock and Harley (1972).
Proposals by Harley for a stereo-mirror-camera were developed to a promising stage
by Alexander (1970) but work on construction of the camera did not proceed due to lack of
funds. In 1969, I.A. Harley of the University of Queensland Spent a year in Stuttgart, West
Germany, working largely on a new method of calibration of close-range cameras, using a
three-dimensional test range. A number of programs were written in Algol; the method is
described in detail in Faig (1969), pp. 36—44. These programs have now been translated
into Fortran for the PDP10 computer, University of Queensland, and are available for
general use.
To the writer’s knowledge there have been no other published descriptions of new
developments. Nor is there extensive routine use of photogrammetry for non-topographic
purposes in Australia. An exception is at the Hydro-Electric Commission in Tasmania.
(Apsenieks and Frodsham, 1971).
