NON-TOPOGRAPHIC PHOTOGRAMMETRY, 1972-1976 
ance as vehicles for data acquisition in an 
increasing number of areas of application of 
close-range and micro-range photogram- 
metry. It is felt that opening the door for the 
use of readily available and relatively inex- 
pensive non-metric cameras in photogram- 
metric systems, along with metric cameras, 
would enable numerous engineers and scien- 
tists in several disciplines to make full use of 
the technical and economical advantages of 
photogrammetry. Freeingthe photogrammet- 
ric systems from the restrictions of conven- 
tional hardware, through the use of analytical 
procedures and non-metric cameras, is one of 
the major goals of current research work in 
close-range and micro-range photogrammet- 
ric systems. 
ACTIVITIES RELATED TO RESOLUTION 2.2 
Whereas no working group or committee 
was formally organized to deal with the im- 
plementation of this resolution, the topic “in- 
dustrial photogrammetry" was advanced by 
the Commission on various fronts. Two ses- 
sions on non-topographic photogrammetry 
(with emphasis on industrial photogram- 
metry) were included in the Symposium ofthe 
UK Photogrammetric Society in Birmingham. 
At the ASP Symposium on Close-Range 
Photogrammetric Systems a session (six pap- 
ers) was devoted to Engineering and Indus- 
trial Applications. 
At the Helsinki Congress, a session will be 
devoted to Industrial Photogrammetry, with 
the following three invited papers planned: 
“A Review of Close-Range Engineering 
Photogrammetry,” K.B. Atkinson (UK); 
“Close-Range Photogrammetry as an Aid to 
Measurement of Marine Structures,” I. New- 
ton (UK); and “Industrial Photogrammetry in 
Japan,” T. Oshima (Japan). 
ACTIVITIES IN RESPONSE TO RESOLUTION 3 
An International Exploratory Committee 
on Biomedical Photogrammetry was formed 
in April 1974 to look into ways and means to 
begin to forge links between the photogram- 
metric and the medical communities to their 
mutual benefit and to advise the President of 
Commission V on what actions need to be 
taken in this direction. Members of the Com- 
mittee are Professor Dr. R.E. Herron, Baylor 
College of Medicine, Chairman; Professor Dr. 
K. Torlegard, Royal Institute of Technology, 
Stockholm; and Mr. K.B. Atkinson, University 
College London. This Committee is expected 
to make preliminary recommendations dur- 
ing the Helsinki Congress. 
Along the lines of international cooperation 
in the field of biomedical photogrammetry, 
39 
the 1974 symposium of ISP Commission V 
(Bio-stereometrics '74) was a major first step. 
At the 1975 ASP Symposium on Close- 
Range Photogrammetric Systems, a session 
(11 papers) was devoted to Biostereometrics. 
Atthe Helsinki Congress, Biostereometrics 
will be the topic of one of the sessions. The 
program of this session is “Biostereometrics— 
A Progress Report,” R.E. Herron (USA); Panel 
discussion of invited paper “Biostereomet- 
rics - À Progress Report”, F.G. Lippert (USA); 
K. Tolegárd (Sweden); P.H. Burke (UK); H. 
Greuel (FRG); R. E. Herron (USA), moderator. 
SYMPOSIA AND SEMINARS 
Several symposia and seminars dealing 
with one aspector another of non-topographic 
photogrammetry were held during the past 
four years. The major events in which Com- 
mission V was involved, or on which details 
were given in the reports of the National Cor- 
respondents of the Commission, are discus- 
sed in the following paragraphs. 
BIOSTEREOMETRICS '74 
Commission V held an International Sym- 
posium on Biomedical and Bioengineering 
Applications of Photogrammetry, September 
10-13, 1974 atthe Washington Hilton Hotel in 
Washington, D.C. This meeting (Bio- 
stereometrics '74) was hosted by the American 
Society of Photogrammetry in conjunction 
with the XIV Congress of the International 
Federation of Surveyors (FIG). Fifty papers 
on a wide range of subjects within the field of 
Biostereometrics were presented. Pre- 
printed proceedings were distributed to the 
registrants. Copies of these proceedings are 
available ($12.50) from the American Society 
of Photogrammetry. 
THE UK PHOTOGRAMMETRIC SOCIETY'S SYMPOSIUM, 
BIRMINGHAM, 1975 
Two sessions on Non-Topographic Photo- 
grammetry were included in the week-end 
Symposium of The Photogrammetric Society 
(UK) in April 1975. ISP Commission V was 
represented in this meeting by its President 
and the Chairman of Working Group V/1. A 
comprehensive report on these two sessions 
of this highly successful symposium will be 
given by Mr. K.B. Atkinson during the first 
technical session of the Commission at the 
Helsinki Congress.
