At first, some basic notions on photointerpretation, such as defi
nition of photointerpretation, steps of photointerpretation, ele
ments of recognition were offered as well as the procedures to ob
tain the stereoscopic vision for photointerpretation.
After that, each pupil received a pair of photos and,individually,
placed them in stereoscopic so as to go with the photo-reading and
photointerpretation in itself.
4. DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS.
With this study, one can classify the identified elements into ca
tegories and calculate its percentage. The most remarked aspects
in the photos were: cultivation areas (35$); roads (23$); vegeta
tion (26%). However, some invironmental clearly visible elements
were not fully detected: projected forms (3%) and aspects of the
drainage network (13%). The seats of the properties were not iden
tified.
