GENERAL REPORT OF THE WORKING GROUP “EDUCATION”
An inventory on a world-wide basis of existing photogrammetric educational facilities is presented and
analysed. Future trends and requirements are discussed and determined respectively. Conclusions and
recommendations are formulated using replies to a questionnaire forwarded to the Commission VI National
Reporters. Specifically, the report deals with such items as: Photogrammetry an independent profession or not?
- Independent photogrammetric educational departments of photogrammetry as a major in surveying or
related educational departments - In-house training - Ratio between photogrammetry engineers, technicians
and plotter operators - Photogrammetry an engineering discipline or not? - Projections for future photogram-
metric education - Chapters on economics and planning in photogrammetry education curriculas - Photogram-
metry research problems of first priority - International coordination of photogrammetry education and
research - The integration of foreign students in photogrammetry educational programs - The incorporation
of new trends and tools in photogrammetry courses (electronics, computer science, automation, remote sensors,
holography, etc.).

SMALL SIZE PHOTOGRAMMETRY - AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE
ELEMENTARY TRAINING SIMPLER AND CHEAPER
The method is developed at the Technical High School of Stockholm (Asó gymnasium), educational institution
for surveying technicians. The system is based on three instruments, Balplex plotter (Bausch and Lomb) and
Wild autographs B9 and A9. The Balplex projector is used as survey camera (size 82 x 82 mm; c = 55,00 mm).
Distortion tests have shown an excellent quality. Wild's autograph A9 has proven to be an outstanding training
instrument.
Terrain models are photographed in strips (60% overlap) with the projector (normal case or tilted axes).
Control points in the “terrain” are signalled before the “air photography’. To show the analogue principle,
the developed glass pictures are put in the unmoved projectors, and the optical model can be studied and
plotted without orientation procedure. In the next step, the pictures are put in the B9 autograph. After
orientation a complete map can be produced. Finally, the autograph A9 is used for a numerical processing of
the same model or a whole strip (air triangulation).
Two Balplex ““cameras’ have been mounted as a stereo camera (normal case) with horizontal axes. This
equipment combined with autograph A9 has been used for application in close-up photogrammetry.
Some pedagogic advantages of the method are described.

THE STANDARD TERMINOLOGY IN PHOTOGRAMMETRY: THE
POSSIBILITIES AND STAGES OF ITS APPLICATION
The first-rate significance of a unified and standardized terminology is further stressed by the circumstances
ensuing from the present development of photogrammetry, from the consequences of the scientific and
technical revolution as well as from recent knowledge and conclusions of formal logics dealing with defining
and precisioning the terms.
