Category A - photogeologists with a broad, in - depth training in all aspects 
of photogeology. Persons with a comprehensive and broad-based ability 
in all aspects of the theory and practice of geology, photogrammetry and allied 
subjects. They haveto have adequate experience to be able to plan and direct 
any type of photogeological operation and take responsibility for its accurate 
and thorough execution. The photogeologists of category A are able to develop 
new approaches and technologies to photogeological operation and assess recored 
data. 
Category B - photogeologists trained in various skills belonging to photogeology. 
Persons with practical comprehension of photogeological surveying 
and skill in execution the various photogeological tasks. They will work as an 
assistant, but after some experience could perform these tasks without supervision 
and could analyse the recorded data. 
Category C - the assistant to Category A and B, trained to record and collect 
data and to provide support in photogeological operations. Persons 
With no specific educational background. They are support personnel in photogeo- 
logical operations. 
4. Outline of syllabi 
  
The following groups of subjects should be considered: 
Basic subjects: 
1. Mathematics, mechanics and statistics 
2. Geology and geophysics including : dynamic geology, structural geology, geo- 
morfology, petrography and mineralogy, soil science, geophysics methods 
3. Photogrammetry and photointerpretation 
These subjects, comprise all aspects of photogrammetry and adjoining fields. 
They include the knowledge which help for reduction, assessment of accuracy and 
computation from collected data and contain also the knowledge for an understand- 
ing of the principles of design and use of photogrammetric instruments and also 
for recognition and interpretation of the objects and phenomenon. 
Support subjects: 
4. Automated data gathering and processing 
5. Geological interpreation: general, structural and lithological. These are 
supplemental subjects to the basic group. The first one enables the photogeolo- 
gist to apply computer techniques to the interpretation and mapping task. 
The second one enables to acquire the principles of interpretation technique 
for recognition factors affecting the photographic appearance of rocks. 
Core subjects: 
6. Geodesy and astronomy 
7. Geological mapping 
This group gives based data about terrestrial surveys and about horizontal 
and vertical control mapped data. 
Peripheral subjects 
8. Remote sensing 
9. Application of remote sensing technique in geology 
These subjects give knowledge about the methodology employed to study from 
a distance using much broader range of the electromagnetic spectrum than those 
which are used with photographic interpretation. 
5. Requirements 
Photogeology is defined as the use of aerial photographs in geological studies. 
If we broaden up this definition to terrestrial photographs and remote sensing
