measurements and aware of his responsibility for the
results which cannot be re-checked before their storage
into the computer and the following processing.
Many other problems, not yet tested in practice, as for
instance accuracy of interpretation, will have to be
examined in the near future, Is, for the comprehension
of a strip of terrain where automatic alignment takes
place a conventional map necessary, is an orthophoto
sufficient, will a mosaic do or even the contact copy
of the aerial photograph?
The point is not the question of measuring accuracy and
photo scale, It is the various problems of photogrammetric
practice, new impulses for the instrument manufacturer
and proper functionning of the system. It is the integration
of the applied representation of the terrain - or in
other words - the photogrammetric problems in the
application of digital terrain models to road design and
other civil engineering tasks.
The Working Group "Civil Engineering" will have to
discuss these problems during the coming congress period;
most of these problems arising in connection with the
practical application of the new procedure systems.
