3. CONCLUSION 
Démocratisation of architectural photogrammetry goes therefore through an amelioration of the means that allow reducing delays and 
costs of intervention. Requisites for this are: 
• a better knowledge of users’ needs according to their specific utilisation; 
• deep know how and interconnected mastery of various specific domains such as topography, photography, CAD, computer 
sciences and architecture. 
However and in spite all its performances, earth photogrammetry finds great difficulty in acquiring a market place because the 
exercise of photogrammetry does not exist as a recognised profession. The present regulatory frame makes the professionals of 
architectural photogrammetry completely tributary of the monopolies that chartered surveyors and topographers hold on both the job 
order and its validation. 
In order to allow earth photogrammetry to live and develop, it is necessary to take it out of its present academic frame and to put it in 
a professional work frame, which will allow professionals to apply and develop the technique. Making it a full-fledged recognised 
profession will increase people’s interest in this branch. Once widely used, new procedures and leads will be discovered through 
daily practice, and such procedures would be developed and tuned by scientists.
