BRISTOL UNIVERSITY. Dept. of Geography
There have been staff researches involving normal remote sensing from
aircraft with possible extensions in the offing to satellite sensors; also some
specialisation in satellite climatology.
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Committee for Aerial Photography
During the period under review the committee has sponsored regular
programmes of aerial photography to provide material to assist in teaching and
research.
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Dept. of Medical Photography
Addenbrooke's Hospital
The hospital has developed a photogrammetric procedure for the
measurement and study of the human face. (15). A special instrument has been
constructed for this work incorporating a pair of multiplex
projectors. This instrument is used both for exposing the photographs and
for their subsequent measurement. More recently a portable stereometric
camera has been designed and built, which may be taken to the patient and used
more conveniently for obtaining the photography.
CARTOGRAPHIC ENGINEERING LTD
This company is initially concerned with the design, development and
manufacture of a new plotting instrument known as the CPI based on principles
formulated by Professor E H Thompson at University College London. The
instrument has reached production stage, and deliveries to customers started in
1971. Work is also in hand on the design and development of specialist
photogrammetric equipment to deal with plotting and profiling from 35 mm
photographs. A prototype of this instrument will be available for trials in 1972.
CASELLA (LONDON)
The firm continues to produce its stereoscopes and related equipment.
DIRECTORATE OF OVERSEAS SURVEYS
The Director of Overseas Surveys has developed aerial triangulation by the
observation of independent models (23, 74, 202) into a full production method,
including block adjustment. Investigations have continued into the accuracy of
this technique, particularly into the method of calculating perspective centre
co-ordinates (24).
Direct scribing of contours on Kern PG2 plotters has been developed into a
standard technique. Pantographs have been added to Multiplex plotters to
permit plotting at reproduction scale and development is in hand to improve the
illumination in these plotters by the use of quartz bulbs. Techniques are being
developed to use Multiplex plotters for plotting trimetrogon photography of the
Antarctic.
