and the professional institutions would, I feel, be loathe to 
adopt such standards although we may feel it desirable. All in 
all I feel the idea is good in principle but will be difficult to 
apply in practice." (educator, U.K.) 
Not in favor (often with some qualification) 
"I think that few non-photogrammetrists who nevertheless use photo- 
grammetry would be interested in pursuing any standard of competence. 
If they were so involved and interested they would either wish 
through education to become photogrammetrists or call themselves such. 
Thus you arrive at the problem of certifying the competence of those 
who may call themselves photogrammetrists at either or both profession- 
al or technician level. To achieve commonality of standards through- 
out the world even under the auspices of ISPRS would be major exercise 
in itself even discounting the work needed to update the syllabus 
and standards. (private practice, U.K.) 
"Presumably people who practice in the fields of photogrammetry and 
remote sensing will be educated at universities probably at the 
graduate level. It would seem to me, at least, that the people who 
are carrying out instruction and research in these areas in the 
universities should have reasonable ideas of the standards of competence 
expected and will, presumably, instill their views in their students. 
Thus, as far as educators are concerned, I see no necessity for the 
preparation of such standards." (educator, U.S.A.) 
"Civil engineers as a group in the State of Victoria, have very 
little involvement in photogrammetric and remote sensing techniques 
during the normal performance of their duties. Generally, specialists 
in these fields are drawn from land surveyors, cartographers, 
Scientists and geologists. Thus, in terms of satisfying an existing 
need in Victoria, there appears to be little merit in drawing up 
formal standards. 
The main contact civil engineers have with photogrammetry and 
remote sensing is through derived products. Thus, if any need exists 
for formal qualifications, it is in the area of interpretation- both 
of conventional and remotely sensed data. This interpretational 
aspect is already covered by components of other specialists courses 
and these may be adaptable to civil engineering courses. 
As mentioned previously, most direct involvement in the specialist 
areas is by surveyors and cartographers etc.,who as suppliers of the 
derived products must have a vested interest in having a civil profess- 
ion with a reasonable level of interpretational skill, so that use 
and demand for these products is maximised. 
Overall, I believe with the existing structural format of photogram- 
metric and remote sensing disciplines in Victoria, there is no 
requirement for standards of competence in these for the civil 
engineering profession. The only appropriate field appears to be 
some form of general interpretational skill training." (public
