The outlook for 2004-2008 is similar (Table 6.1c) although, 
clearly, other related areas (lidar, GPS) are beginning to feature 
more highly. Within remote sensing, the GMES initiative and 
the related GEO process have injected reasonable optimism for 
expansion of the industry along with the launch of new 
platforms and instruments. The prospects in photogrammetry 
are less well defined but will inevitably feature more lidar and 
digital camera work. In addition, the continued integration of 
remote sensing and geographical information systems was seen 
very much as a positive influence, which would be significantly 
enhanced by the increasing importance of Internet delivery.
