requirements for expanded water services and sanitary facilities. Data such 
as the number of homes in the area, the distance between them, the vacant 
land, type of land use (commercial, industrial, residential) has been effectively 
and economically estimated from aerial photography. 
Other Engineering Applications 
In other engineering applications, photographic interpretation was used 
during the reporting period in the location of proposed electric transmission 
line routes (Canada, Norway), and in planning telegraph cable lines {Norway). 
It was employed in the determination of location, and making preliminary plans 
for the development of rural public works {France). It was also used in the 
planning of dam-sites and installations for hydro-electric development {Canada, 
Norway, Pakistan). And in the problem of locating new industrial installations, 
aerial photographic interpretation was extensively used in several instances 
to analyze the merits of alternate sites {United States).

MILITARY INTERPRETATION 
The military section of the 1952 Commission VII report covered the science 
of military photographic interpretation since its development at the beginning 
of World War II, and including use in the Korean conflict. As much of the 
development in military photographic interpretation since 1952 is held under 
security classification by the various countries concerned, this section of the 
present report will necessarily be brief. 
activity in military photographic interpretation since 1952: 
The following developments in military photographic interpretation since 
1952 should be noted: 
1. During the conflict in Indo-China, the photographic interpretation 
organizations of the French land and air armies made many studies and 
did much intelligence work in the locating of objectives, and in develop 
ing supplementary data in support of tactical operations. 
2. Research. Much of the research work in photographic interpretation, 
particularly in the United States, has continued to be supported by the 
military services. Such research has resulted in new interpretation equip 
ment and publications of value in many fields of photographic interpreta-
