The potential of photogrammetric methods in underwater photography and current measurements has been
analyzed (74). Short range photogrammetry has been applied to measure characteristics of waves, artificially
generated in a model test (Laval University).
Movie photography of a helicopter crash, incidentally taken by an amateur camera man was used to study
and measure dynamic phenomena of the helicopter prior to the impact, The photogrammetric results were used
in the investigation into the cause of the accident (National Research Council).
Two Media Photogrammetry
A computation program for processing two media photographs in the Analytical Plotter AP/2C has been
developed (71) (University of New Brunswick).
Two media photogrammetry has been used to measure the growth of jellyfish colonies, Photographs were
taken at a distance of approximately 0.6 m. using a press camera, Vertical profiles of the colonies have been
plofted from a series of photographs, taken at regular two-week intervals (68) (National Research Council).
Holography
A prototype measuring instrument has been developed to measure holograms with an accuracy of * 0,02 mm
(62) (Laval University).

Education
University Level
There are two universities offering a photogrammetry course program with a major in photogrammetry
namely:
Laval University: Department of Photogrammetry - Faculty of Forestry and Geodesy
University of New Brunswick: Department of Surveying Engineering - Faculty of Engineering.
In addition there are about 1/3 of all universities offering service courses in photogrammetry (either in
civil engineering, forestry or geography).
Technologist and Technician Level
Approximately 1/5 of all institutions of this level offer service courses in photogrammetry.
Graduates
The number of graduates per year for the University Level and for the Technologist and Technician Level
are:
University Level
B.S. degree (minor in photogrammetry): approximately 15
M.S. degree (major in photogrammetry): approximately 5
Doctor degree (major in photogrammetry): approximately 1 to 2.
Technologist and Technician Level
Technologists with some knowledge in photogrammetry:
exact number unknown (possibly about 15).
Technicians with some knowledge in photogrammetry:
exact number unknown (possibly about 20),
Comments
These figures are important for planning of future photogrammetric education on all levels, It can be
assumed that among the roughly 1,500 personnel occupied by photogrammetry and closely related fields (remote
