Influence of scale, in the case of small scale maps, on new photogrammetric methods (B.1/Panel 4)
The drafting error is preponderant in maps at scales 1:100 000 or 1:200 000. In large classes of
photogrammetric surveys of this type it is useless, consequently, to pay much attention to the
horizontal accuracy. This means that one can save the costs of terrestrial or aerial triangulation
and use less expensive, airborne means of orientation. A discussion of these means, and of the
circumstances limiting their application (especially with regard to vertical accuracy), should
provide the countries lacking both triangulations and maps with economically important infor-
mations.
The marking of controls and boundary points as a tool of high precision photogrammetry
(B.1/Panel 5)
High precision photogrammetry requires the possibility of making certain ground points visible
on photographs by field marking. The means securing satisfactory results in this respect are
dictated much more by the needs of economy and organization than by purely photogrammetric
considerations. An exchange of information about practical and successful marking devices should
be beneficial to the production of coordinates and maps. The supervised tests have shown that
unacceptable coarse errors in plotting happen in spite of careful marking and identification of
points. It is hoped that the discussions might reveal some means for avoiding such errors.
Each panel should record its main conclusions as short theses and resolutions. Otherwise the
results of the discussions of Commission IV might well volatilize, instead of becoming the basis
for further work and development.
