INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND REMOTE SENSING
Commission VI
Symposium held in Mainz, FR Germany, 22 - 25 September 1982
The Symposium had the pleasure to be invited by the Wasser- und Schiffahrts-
direktion Mainz on Saturday 25 September 1982. The participants were honoured
by a Welcome Address on board the ship delivered by Dipl.Ing.Claus Rost,
President of the administration. Two most instructive lectures were presented
causing quite some surprise on that the river maintenace administration
applies sophisticated methods of photogrammetry and remote sensing. Abstracts
of these papers are printed underneath. For full text please write to the

IMPROVEMENT OF THE NAVIGATION CHANNEL
OF THEE RHINGE RIVER

ABSTRACT
The System of inland waterways in the Federal Republic of Germany comprises
about 4 300 km of rivers and canals. By far the most important waterway is the
Rhine River. In 1981 198 million tons of cargo were moved on the Rhine. The
navigable part of the Rhine begins at Basel. Down to Karlsruhe the River forms
the border between France and Germany. In this reach we have 11 locks and
dams. Downstream of Karlsruhe the Rhine is not dammed.

Beginning in the 19th century, tha Rhine was regulated by means of levees,
revetments and groins. The last big control work to enlarge the depth of the
navigation channel was begun in 196h. That is nearly completed. Today we have
favourable depths (3,50 m at mean water) and widths (90m to 150m) in the
navigation channel. Only at low water times in the fall the strips with a
draft of 2,50m to 4,4om cannot be fully loaden. |
DETERMINATION OF SHIP-WAY-DATAS
TPL YI NC PHOTOGRAMMETRY
Johannes Mierswa

ABSTRACT
To improve the navigable relation on the Rhine River from km 527 to 533 (Binger
Loch) different variations of stream regulations were examined in a model. The
model ships necessary for the model examinations must be standardized in way-
time diagrams determined in nature. These way-time diagrams as well as vector-
diagrams from the navigation way of two types of ships were determined with
aerial photos whilst synchronizing the time. This was achieved by means of
a second camera photographing a clock.
The aerial photos were taken from a helicopter Bell 47 with a Hasselblade
200 el, wide angle Distagon homm on film Agfa Pan 30. The numerical plotting
of the photos was done on a mono-comparator Zeiss PK 1. The coordinate transfor-
mation was. plain or a resection in space with 4 control points in each photo.
