photography for plotting sea ice. The following photography of the Gulf of St.
Lawrence was compared;
RCAF: CF 100 aircraft with RC9, 3.5 in wide-angle from 41,000 ft.
USN: A3D aircraft with 6 inch tri-met from 35,000 ft.

Visual ice observations were also made from RCAF Dakotas and USN P2V aircraft.
Special meteorological observations were also made from land stations, ships and
aircraft. A preliminary report indicating that TIROS photography can be used as a
supplement to existing methods of ice reconnaissance has been issued by the
Canadian Defense Research Board.
Netherlands reports special large scale photography of small cadastral plots , under
all weather conditions and under cloud. Results not yet available.
Austria reports a pilot study on the possibilities of infra-red and color for the
Forest Inventory. New color techniques have been tried and this experiment will
form the basis of a decision whether to continue the use of color in the full scale
investory.

Part III - Problems Remaining to be Solved
Correspondents were asked to state problems whose solution is important for the
advancement of aerial photography and photogrammetry, the question being left
perfectly open with no "prompting". It was interesting that the answers dealt with
most of the basic problems which have always been with us . Subjects mentioned
included:

ise.
No tolerances for tilt were specified. Stabilized mounting are of course available:
presumably the replies meant "stabilized mountings at a competitive price and with
g the navi-
1 providing
no disadvantage".
Switzerland emphasizes the need for providing at least one element of absolute
camera orientation and mentions availability of a new horizon camera which gives
tilt determinations within 2-4 seconds of arc.
