fense Forces has investigated various films, espe-
cially color and false-color for several purposes, The mining
company Rautaruukki Oy has continued the investi-
gation of false-color interpretation for ore prospecting. A new
method in this line is the use of an equidencity procedure,
T ne: Forest Resgearch Institute has
worked out a new type of multi-face sampling method to be app-
lied to the inventory of forest resources, A quite new method
is the use of meteorological space-craft pictures, The pictu-
res applied were taken in early spring when the tree tops were
already snowfree but the ground still covered by snow. It was
found that a distinct correlation existed between the volume of
growing stock measured by National Forest Inventory and the
tone values measured on the satellite picture.
University level education in Photogrammetry is offered
at Helsinki and Tampere Univepyrs ie
ties of Technology and in addition educa-
tion in photo interpretation is included in the program
of the Universities of Helsinki,
Turku and. Oulu.
The most complete education in the field is given at the Depart-
ment of Surveying of Helsinki University of Technology including
lectures and practice during the second, third and fourth year
of studies, Yearly there have been 30-50 students taking part
in the courses,
At the Civil Engineering departments of both Helsinki and Tam-
pere Universities of Technology there are lectures and practice
during the third year, There is a Faculty of Engineering at
the University of Oulu which gives the students of civil engi-
neering the same education.
There are minor courses of photogrammetry in the Faculty of Ag-
riculture and Forestry of Helsinki University, in the Insti-
tutes of Geology of Helsinki, Turku and Oulu Universities as
well as in the Institutes of Geography of the same three Univer-
sities.
