KEY WORDS: Education, Training, International Cooperation, ORIENT.
ABSTRACT:
The paper deals with the project pointed to help for reform countries. The courses were took place for
photogrammetrics from universities of middle and south-eastern Europe at Institute for Photogrammetry and Remote
Sensing TU Vienna. Obtained experiences and knowledge help to improve quality of photogrammetry education in
reform countries.
1. INTRODUCTION
In the year 1991 was started in Austria the project arising
from cooperation of states CEI (Central Europe Initiative,
former Pentagonala). Institute for Photogrammetry and
Remote Sensing TU Vienna invited several teachers of
photogrammetry from reform countries to take part in
photogrammetric courses ORIENT and SCOP. ORIENT
is universal program system intended for determination
of points by adjustment in photogrammetry developed in
TU Vienna. The conception of ORIENT was presented in
1976 (Kager, 1976) and applied to practice in 1978
(Kager, 1980). The system was expanded in next years.
2. ORIENT COURSES
The first course (1991) served to introducing with
program system. The structure of program system were
explained for participants of course. For handling with
basic modules of ORIENT were used two demoprojects:
phototriangulation around a large building and
aerotriangulation. Each from took part universities
obtained program system ORIENT at the end of course.
Second one (1992) , we can say advanced course, was
aimed on special tasks as calibration non-metric camera,
right using of robust adjustment, creation of CMD
procedures and etc. The third and fourth courses(both
1994) were pointed on to presentation of practical
applications of participants. Fourth course was took
place in Kocovce (Slowakia ) as ORIENT seminar. The
reports were collected in proceedings. The papers dealt
with calibration non-metric cameras, deformation lock
gate, measurement of spatial form of suspended cable
bridge, monitoring landslide territory , using of ORIENT
in education and medicine, plotting of area fracture
surface of rock material.

3. ORIENT AT TU BRNO
At Institute of geodesy TU Brno is ORIENT used mainly
in teaching. In the basic course of photogrammetry in
third year of study is ORIENT used for solution of single
task - phototriangulation with only several images and
demonstration of aerotriangulation. There are good
conditions and sufficient time in arbitrary courses for
solution of various photogrammetric tasks in fourth and
fifth years of study. For learning we prepared a brief text
about ORIENT in Czech language. These arbitrary
courses attend groups having 8 - 10 students. | regard
as the best use of ORIENT in students” theses. From
1992 until 1996 was program system used in 14 theses
for aerotriangulation, camera calibration, architecture
purposes, archaeology, creation maps from archive
images for environmental protection (Hanzl, 1995).
Some difficulties with learning of ORIENT are
compensated with interest of students to work on
interest projects.
4. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
The program system ORIENT was used for many tasks.
One of them was CIPA test “O. Wagner Pavilion“. The
test object is one of the Otto Wagners Station buildings
on the Karlsplatz in Vienna. The aim of the test was to
compare: software, different cameras, measuring
devices, etc. and test 3x3 rules of CIPA. Specialists from
15 institutes have been participated in this project. The
set of 52 images have been disturbed to participants of
second course. The results were sent to evaluation to P.
Patias from University of Thessaloniki, Greece. It was
unique opportunity to take part in international project for
some ORIENT project participants and we also
obtained good material for teaching and training.
