UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM, Department of Civil Engineering
The department is investigating the precision with which long-term structural
deformations may be monitored by terrestrial photogrammetric methods.
ORDNANCE SURVEY
The Ordnance Survey does not carry out non- topographic photogrammetry, but
professional staff have given information and advice to potential users in a
variety of fields.
PHOTARC SURVEYS LIMITED
This company, specialising in architectural photogrammetry, was set up in
1974 and has carried out a number of elevation surveys at 1:50 and 1:100 scale
of buildings, street facades and bridges. Rock face surveys at 1:50 scale for
stabilisation work, volumetric surveys of stockpiles and structural and design
surveys of ceilings have been undertaken, as well as a 1:1 scale survey of a
stone cross in Scotland. Townscapes and town silhouettes have been derived
from aerial photography. Zeiss (Oberkochen) SMK 120 and Zeiss (Jena)
10/1318 cameras are available for terrestrial work.
PROPERTY SERVICES AGENCY, Department of the Environment
The agency does not carry out photogrammetric work, but its Directorate of
Civil Engineering Development has commissioned machine plotted or rectified
photographic elevations of public buildings and ancient monuments at scales of
1:50 and 1:100. In collaboration with the City University, photogrammetric and
traditional methods of monitoring deformations have been compared. The
photogrammetric method used a Zeiss (Jena) UMK 10/1318 camera and
Stereocomparator.
ROYAL COMMISSION ON HISTORICAL MONUMENTS (ENGLAND)
The Royal Commission's photogrammetric unit has surveyed a number of
buildings for its own work, and also for the Ancient Monuments Branch of
the Department of the Environment, and for other organisations concerned
with historic architecture (100). Among the major buildings surveyed were
the north face of Salisbury Cathedral, Brixworth Church (Northamptonshire)
and Witley Court, (Hereford and Worcester). A useful direct ink draughting
technique was developed (48). In 1975 the unit was absorbed into the
Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies of the University of York whose
activities are described separately.
UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD
The Department of Dental Health is carrying out a serial clinical stereophoto-
grammetric study of changes in facial morphology produced by growth or
surgery using a portable stereometric camera of the type designed at
~
Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge (34).
