Title: Modern Methods of Education in
Photogrammetry /P VI/06
Dr. Badekas suggested that modern audiovisual
equipment be used and that good handbooks
be translated to make them accessible on a
world-wide basis. He stated that it is possible
for students to acquire a good knowledge of
photogrammetry in training laboratories despite
certain deficiencies in the equipment available.
What is most important, however, is the proper
programming of courses.
Dr. Wassiljev and Dr. Hothmer participated in
the discussion. Dr. Hothmer put forward the
terms "active photogrammetrist" and "passive
photogrammetrist" the later being a person who
can make use of photogrammetry but is not able
to use it. Dr. F. Heimes (Netherlands) then
commented the question raised in Dr. Badekas'
paper: "What to teach, how much to teach?"
Dr. H. Rib (USA) drew the attention to the short
courses and workshops which might also belong
to the future subjects of WG VI/1. Dr. Hothmer
then asked whether there existed any textbook not
too large-scale for the passive photogrammetrists.
He got answeres from Mr. K. Atkinson (United
Kingdom), Mr. A. Adamek (Australia) and Mr. J.
E. Colcord (USA) suggesting the books of Kilford,
Wolf and Moffit as suitable for teaching passive
photogrammetrists. Dr. A. J. McNair then in-
formed about the 4th edition of Manual of Photo-
grammetry as well as about textbooks of Hallert,
Moffit, Wolf and Ghosh, the last three of which
are being published in new editions. Finally
Dr. Hothmer pointed out that it is not reasonable
to teach the student too many details of indi-
vidual instruments but more important to teach
them how to study in order to enable them to
keep themselves up-to-date later on.

Dr. Sitek then announced that there would be an
additional meeting of Commission VI on Monday
19.7. at 1—2 p.m. The terminology and informa-
tion exchange would be discussed and everyone
interested would be welcome.
The chairman closed the session by thanking the
attendants and the interpreters.

Title: Photointerpretation and Remote
Sensing Research Policy and Orga-
nization /P VI/13
Dr. S. Paul (France) gave a speech of some mi-
nutes before the opening of the discussion (PP
VI/05). He raised the question how the commis-
sion could arrange a permanent training and
retraining of engineers and technicians in photo-
grammetry and remote sensing. He told about
the course in interpretation and remote sensing
of about 600 h arranged in Paris 1975—1976.
In the following discussion Dr. C. Olson (USA)
explained the remote sensing training program
in EROS Data Center and in several universities
in USA. Dr. J. Hothmer (FRG) asked about the
experience in photointerpretation for civil engi-
neers. Dr. A. McNair (USA) answered explaining
the program of Cornell University. Mr. G. Salman
Gonzales (Mexico) made a comment on Mexican
experience in training at the National Mapping
Agency CETENAL. Mr. J. Clement (France) said
that in teaching photointerpretation and remote
sensing, photointerpretation of images and more
advanced methods of analysis should be sepa-
rated to different levels of courses.
Mr. F. Hilwig (Netherlands) informed about the
remote sensing course in ITC February/March
1977.

Following the papers by Mr. Härmälä, Mr. Coker,
Dr. Roy and Dr. Wassiljev, there was considerable
discussion about ways in which developed coun-
tries and 1.S.P. might assist developing countries
in upgrading their photogrammetric education
and production. A need for help from the more
