6. Education and training in photogrammetry
In Hungary, surveyors are trained at three levels, each
including education in photogrammetry, but separate
photogrammetric expert training has never been intro-
duced.
6.1 The lowest level is the technical highschool of
surveying attended, after 8 primary grades thus in the
age of 14, by. those interested and having the intention
to occupy such a position. Studies in this technical
school take 4 years, completed by a final examination
("maturation"). Training is aimed at the education of
auxiliary technicians for simple surveying operations
who, in the office, perform simple calculation and
drawing duties, while on the site recording, minor sur-
veying, marking, and stabilization jobs. Photogrammetric
training is in the 3rd and 4th years through about 80
classroom hours, and covers the reading of aerial photo-
graphs, fundamental photogrammetric ideas and definitions,
stereo-vision development and practice, simple graphic
evaluations, and the preparation of photogrammetric
operations. Accordingly, at the beginning of their work
in photogrammetric departments, the graduates first
perform preparatory duties, then auxiliary evaluations
with the plotting instruments. After 2 years of practice
and passing another examination, they may be promoted
to technicians.
6.2 The second educational level is the High-Grade
Surveyor Technical School, similar to the German
Ingenieur Schule. Preconditions are high-school (per-
haps surveyor technical high-school), final examination
certificate, and a successful examination of admittan-
ce. The latter includes written and verbal parts in
high-school mathematics and physics or, for the gra-
duates of the surveyor technical high-school, surveying
instead of physics in the verbal part. This training
is aimed at the education of professionals who, in
addition to a fundamental education in mathematics and
the natural sciences, have been instructed in geodesy,
photogrammetry, and cartography, and are thus capable
to perform practical duties in these fields independ-
