COMMISSION II
Theory, Methods and Instruments of Restitution
Reporter: Dr. R.A. Stewart, Surveys and Mapping Branch, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources
During the last four years, the trend in Canadian photogrammetric institutions and mapping industry
has been towards the automation of restitution and data collection. The tendency to speed up map
production with less human effort has been the key element in the acquisition of instruments. Today
the Canadian mapping community is equipped with a variety of restitution systems. The most important
aspect of them all is the addition of electronic components such as electronic data digitizers, inter-
active units, mini-computers, desk-top calculators and data storage and display units. The existing
first and second order plotters are being supplemented with one or more of these additional features.
The responsibility for the national mapping program rests with the Surveys and Mapping Branch of the
Federal Department of Energy, Mines and Resources. The Branch is currently engaged in the production
of 1:50 000 scale maps and in the revision of existing ones. There are about 65 stereo instruments
of first and second order. In the field of orthophoto, the Branch has orthophotoscopes and rectifiers.
During the last four years, the Branch has been engaged in a number of theoretical and practical
studies related to the restitution of both conventional and non-conventional imageries. Many of the
provincial and regional governments are involved in medium to large scale mapping for environmental
studies, resource studies and engineering purposes. Seven of the ten provincial governments and at
least two metropolitan areas have mapping facilities. Besides these, there are government agencies
such as the Ontario Department of Transport and Communications which have their own instrumentation
for restitution and automated Cartography.
