INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND REMOTE SENSING
COMMISSION V
SOME CASES OF ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY
DONE IN CENTRAL
AND SOUTH AMERICA
Prof.Ing. Antonio Cheli
Photogrammetric Recording Unit
National University La Plata
The autor report the photogrammetric documentation carried out in five countries
(Argentina,Paraguay,Guatemala,El Salvador and Costa Rica),in order to establish the
"Photogrammetric Archives" according the Resolution Ne 2,from the General Assembly
of ICOMOS held at Washington,aND ALSO ABOUT THE INTENSIVES Courses done in order to
prepare local human resourses that could apply this technology,according CIPA's re-
solution of Siena and Granada
Close range photogrammetry has been in argenti-
na-during this last seven years-concentrated
in three main aspects of Architectural and Ar-
cheological Surveys;that means Training,Produc
tion and Teaching.
At the begining of 1985,was founded in the Ci-
ty of La Plata,the Regional Center for Photogra
mmetry Icomos-CIPA (C.R.F),under the tutorial
of ICOMOS International and the International
Committee for Architectural Photogrammetry CI-
PA.
During the first two years,we gained experien-
ce from training courses given by M.Carbonell
and others specialists.At that time we perfor-
med practical excercises with the Wild P 31 me
tric camera and alsowith the camera body of an
old Wild P 30 phototeodolite,and slowly,has be
en delineated two operational lines:The field
recording one,operated with Professionals and
Students from our Faculty of Engineering and,
the Data Reduction Unit,with the help of the
technicians from the Ministry of Publics Works
of the Province of Buenos Aires,with its Pho-
togrammetrié Department.
The C.R.F have at its dispo sal,the Universal
Metric Camera UMK10/1318 to be used with film
cutted and plates;laboratory facilities for
aerial and terrestrial surveys including a
rectifier,an amplifier,two analogue instruments
and a reproduction camera.
During 1987 the C.R.F. has been preparing many
documentation of buildings in several places
of the Province of Buenos Aires (City of La
Plata;Lujan;Avellaneda;City of Buenos Aires)
in order to get experience for the Field and
Cabinet Groups.Many plottings and Photoeleva-
tions were made and in many cases we use combi-
nations of methods to achieve the final result.
Inmediatily after to take notice of the Resolu-
tion N9 2 from the General Assembly of ICOMOS
held in Washington (October 1987),,it was per-
formed during 1988,the "Photogrammetric Archi-
ves" of the Jesuitic Missions in the north-
east part of Argentina ;San Ignacio Mini,foun-
ded in 1631 and finished in 1744,that had been
built with red and dark yellow grid stone and
with an eruptive rock,like basalt,which is for-
med in the bed of the Parana River.The existing
ruins speaks about the magnificence of this Tem
ple.
After that we moved to the most spectacular Je-
suitic Mission placed in the Republic of Para-
guay,in order to made the "Photogrammetric
Archives" of one of the most beautiful and
best preserved reduction;the Trinidad Mission
(1712).A1so we recorded the Jesus Mission
built in 1759.AFtErwards we made the plottings
of many details of San Ignacio and Trinidad.
