tional Photogrammetry Committee) in coop- 
eration with ISP Commission V and the Uni- 
versity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The 
symposium was held July 28 - August 1, 1975 
at the Ramada Inn Convention Center in 
Champaign, Illinois. Forty-nine papers deal- 
ing with the systems, software, and various 
applications of close-range photogrammetry 
were presented. Preprinted proceedings 
were distributed at the beginning of the meet- 
ing, and are available ($12.50) from the Ameri- 
can Society of Photogrammetry. 
ROUND-TABLE DISCUSSION AT IMEKO VI, DRESDEN, GDR, 
1973 
In the framework of the Sixth International 
Measurement Confederation (IMEKO VI) 
held in Dresden, GDR, June 17-23, 1973, a 
round-table discussion on the theme “Prob- 
lems of Automatic Data Acquisition and Proc- 
essing for Multi-Dimensional Measurement” 
was held. The president of ISP Commission V 
was invited to participate but, unfortunately, 
could not attend because of a prior commit- 
ment in Mexico City. A comprehensive report 
on this segment of IMEKO VI will be given by 
Prof. Dr. G. Lotze during the first technical 
session of Commission V atthe Helsinki Con- 
gress. 
SEMINAR ON NON-TOPOGRAPHIC APPLICATIONS, KIEV, 
USSR, 1974 
This conference was held in October 1974 
by the Ukranian Republic's House of Science 
and Technology in cooperation with the Insti- 
tute of Civil Engineering in Kiev and Com- 
mission 5 of the National Committee of Photo- 
grammetrists of the USSR. 
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIA ON ARCHITECTURAL 
PHOTOGRAMMETRY 
These symposia are highly successful an- 
nual events organized by the International 
Committee on Architectural Photogram- 
metry. During the reporting period, the sites 
of the symposia were Zürich (1972), Lucca 
(1973), Athens (1974), and London (1975). 
INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE ON ARCHITECTURAL 
PHOTOGRAMMETRY (CIPA) 
Close contactand friendly cooperation have 
been maintained throughout the past four 
years with this most active Committee, which 
has been, since its inception in 1970, under 
theablechairmanshipofMr. M. Carbonnell. A 
report by Mr. Carbonnell on the activities of 
CIPA will be included in the first session of 
Commission V in Helsinki. Mr. Carbonnell 
has organized and will chair a session on Ar- 
chitectural Photogrammetry at the Helsinki 
PHOTOGRAMMETRIC ENGINEERING & REMOTE SENSING, 1976 
Congress. Three invited papers are planned 
for this session: 
Technical Progress in Architectural Photo- 
grammetry,” M. Carbonnell (France); “Or- 
thophotography in Architectural Photogram- 
metry," E. Seeger (FRG); “Use of Analytical 
Plotters in Architectural Photogrammetry,” 
C. Sena (Italy). 
Major TRENDS IN NON-TOPOGRAPHIC 
PHOTOGRAMMETRY (1972-1976) 
The number of organizations which use 
photogrammetry in non-topographic applica- 
tions has increased noticeably over the past 
four years. Where, previously, work in this 
area was done primarily in universities and 
research outfits with an interest in photo- 
grammetry and mapping, there are presently 
several organizations, including hospitals, 
governmentagencies, and private companies, 
in several countries, which use photogram- 
metry in non-topographic applications on a 
more-or-less regular basis, both for produc- 
tion and for research purposes. During the 
reporting period, rapid technical de- 
velopments have taken place, together with a 
substantial increase in conventional applica- 
tions. Whereas the number of countries in 
which non-topographic photogrammetry is 
used has increased over the past four years, 
there are still numerous countries which have 
yet to use photogrammetry outside the realm 
of topographic mapping. Following is a sum- 
mary ofthe majortrends in the various facets of 
non-topographic photogrammetry during the 
period 1972-1976. This information is based, 
in part, on reports received from 15 National 
Correspondents of ISP Commission V. 
INSTRUMENTATION 
Data acquisition equipment. Metric Cam- 
eras. The major photogrammetric camera 
manufacturing companies continued to in- 
crease the versatility and flexibility of their 
close-range and terrestrial cameras, in partic- 
ular as far as the range of focusing is con- 
cerned. Another feature which has been 
added in response to users’ demands is the 
possibility to use film (roll and/or cut) in addi- 
tion to the traditional glass plates. 
All manufacturers of photogrammetric 
close-range and terrestrial cameras were re- 
quested to identify their new cameras and 
improvements introduced since 1972. Fol- 
lowing is a summary of the information re- 
ceived, arranged alphabetically.

tions have been made in the production pro- 
gram of the MK70 metric camera. Upon re-
