The company has an export of about 50 % of the produc-
tion and has subsidiary companies in Germany, Spain and
Sweden.
New standard map specifications
In 1993, a new set of standard map specifications for
base maps, the TK-standard, has been agreed-on with the
Association of Local Authority Technical Directors.
Compared to the previous specifications from 1988, the
new ones will ensure base maps, which are more suited
for use in geographic information systems. The basic idea
is, that the user who wants to enhance the data for real
use in a GIS should be able to do so.
New map products
The Danish Road Directorate and the Danish counties
have specified a new map standard for maps for road
administration. These specifica-tions are setting a new
trend: the base maps will be used in GIS, and ability to
calculate areas of the different elements of the road is one
of the important aims. The maps should therefore consist
of a great number of different areas. Until now, Kampsax
Geoplan has performed mapping of motorways and
highways in three Danish counties.
With the Danish ministry of agriculture and fishery as
client, Kampsax Geoplan has fulfilled a mapping project
of the Danish agricultural areas. Groups of fields, with
stable borders as roads, fences etc. have been mapped and
attributed with an individual number. The field maps are
intended for the ministrys control of subsidiaries from the
European Union.
Digital photogrammetry
Kampsax Geoplan started in 1994 working with digital
photogrammetry. Until now, a great number of digital
orthophotos have been produced. A total coverage of
Denmark with digital orthophotos, based on aerial photo-
graphy in colours, in photo scale 1:25,000, is planned.
Equipment
Kampsax Geoplan has renewed the photogrammetric
cameras, now using Zeiss TOP 15 cameras with T-Flight
management systems, FMC and gyro-stabilized mounts.
The company is using 16 analytical instruments (Leica
BC-3, SD2000, Zeiss P2, P3) in Denmark and 9 analy-
tical instruments in subsidiaries abroad.
For digital photogrammetry Leica Helava equipment is
used.

THE SCANKORT-LLO GROUP
The SCANKORT-LLO GROUP was formed in 1991 by
the two photogrammetric companies SCANKORT I/S and
LLO A/S, who have been carrying out photogrammetric
mapping in Denmark and neighbouring countries since
1961.

RESEARCH AND TEACHING
AALBORG UNIVERSITY (AAU)
Laboratory for Photogrammetry and Surveying
Education
As part of the 5-year education of the chartered Danish
land surveyor, standard courses in photogrammetry and
mapping are given to about 30 students each year. These
courses includes exercises like control point determina-
tion, stereoscopic measurement with various systems,
photomap production, aerotriangulation and photogram-
metric mapping. After a common 3 year-study program-
me, the students can specialize. Courses are offered in
remote sensing and image processing, digital mapping
with vector and raster techniques, terrestrial photogram-
metry, digital photogrammetry, GIS, and other subjects.
As all teaching is organized in projects, photogrammetry
is integrated with neighbouring fields like surveying,
cartography, remote sensing, GIS, adjustment theory, and
information technology. About half of the students specia-
lize in these areas and graduate with a MSC degree.
Staff
The teaching staff consists of 13 academic persons, 2 of
these have a PhD degree in photogrammetry and two are
enrolled as PhD students at the research school of Aal-
borg University dealing with photogrammetric subjects.
Equipment
The photogrammetric equipment. of the laboratory con-
sists of some analogue instruments (various mirror stereo-
scopes with parallax bar, two mechanical stereoplotters,
one rectifier, one orthoprojector), an analytical stereo-
plotter and two digital stereo workstations. The digital
worksstations "DiAP" made by the Canadian firm ISM
have béen used in the education since 1993. Furthermore,
an Intergraph workstation, IP 6280, with the MGE plat-
form and several application packages ("Imager", "Mode-
