à. To encourage the individual publication of syllabi as part of explanat-
ions related with universities and institutions and the educational
philosophy of this place or attributed to a special region, like the
material prepared for North America and Canada by Professor S. Ghosh.
b. To appoint a knowledgeable colleague who will be responsible for re-
ceiving, collecting and presenting syllabi and sources where syllabi
are published together with some remarks on them.
2. Text books
It seems that it is necessary for WG VI-9 to proceed as follows in this
area:
a. To provide a table with the major modern text books in photogrammetry
and remote sensing, as well as some analysis of them. The analysis could
be limited to the number of pages occupied by each field in each book
or could be extended to include some reviews published already and re-
ferring to these books.
An excellent example of such analysis for 17 text books in Remote Sens-
ing (Table 1) has been provided to me by Stanley Morain of the University
of New Mexico and given in Tables 2 and 3.
b. It seems within the possibilities of WG VI-9 to prepare and organise
for 1984 Congress in Brazil, an exhibition withthe major modern book
in Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. It will create a very big in-
terest between participants.
3. Laboratory materials
The diversity of courses offered in various Institutions makes very dif-
ficult the transition of such materials from one installation to another.
Our commission has to encourage the report and publication of Laboratory
Materials and recognise these reports as research material, equally important
with research in any other field.
4. Slides
Slides have been proved an effective mean in teaching Photogrammetry and
Remote Sensing. The collections of slides however expecially in Photogram-
metry has been scarce and usually require the endless effort of the in-
dividual who teach Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Some standard col-
lections existing in Photogrammetry cover special topics like instruments,
terrestrial photogrammetry, like the slides "Photogrammetrie Architecturale"
of CIPA developed and distributed by : The Laboratory of Photogrammetry,
National Technical University of Athens, Greece. More extended collections
covering the entire field exist in Remote Sensing which also are usually
accompanied by the associated text provided on tapes. One such series is,
"Fundamentals of Remote Sensing" a Minicourse Series developed and distribut-
ed by : The Laboratory for Applications of Remote Sensing, Purdue University
West Lafayette, Indiana (USA).
An extended collection of slides for Remote Sensing is given in "Pre-
liminary Guide to Audio-Visual Materials" compiled in 1981 by Amelia
Budge for the Committee on Education of the American Society of Photogram-
metry. Following the same line a similar guide could be compiled for Euro-
pean Publications.
