Of course not really all possible photogrammetric results 
are listed, which again might stimulate the reader to own 
additions and possibly leads to surprising cognitions. 
The columns of the matrix indicate the national 
activities in Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing: 
Column 1: Method 
Column 2: Stage 
Column 3: Progress 
Column 4: Meetings 
Column 5: Publications 
Column 6: Special 
(Column 7: Education) 
(Column 8: Cooperation) etc. 
Again, in this draft version not really the complete list of 
activities is stated, which might leave own contributions 
to the reader, too. 
Obviously the national report input has to be worked out 
much more sophisticated than it is stated within this 
draft matrix. The term "method" for example, at least 
stands for "mathematical model used", "software 
applied", "hardware used", "practical acceptance" etc., 
see table 3.1. 
The matrix fields have been left blank for the national 
input. 
Fields, kept blank within this matrix after reporting, 
directly indicate gaps within national activities for the 
reporting period, which should be indicated with "no 
activities". 
Fore the use of this matrix typical questions might 
appear, for instance 
- which matrix field is foreseen for reporting on a 3096 
aerial photography coverage of a country? 
(It is under the line of visualization or under an extra line) 
- Where has to be indicated the use of GPS for aerial 
photography? 
( under "numeric coordinates" and assigning the 
particular method ) 
- Where to put the establishing of some GIS systems for 
educational purposes? 
(under "digital vectordata" in the "education matrix" 
and/or under an extra column) 
- Where is the space, foreseen to state achievements in 
international cooperation? 
( itis the complete "cooperation matrix") 
For a more impressive worldwide overview of the 
activities of our society, global maps, based on the 
132 
national report matrices will be provided conventional 
and via internet and/or www, too. It is suggested to 
establish an ISPRS-GIS system for international 
synopses of stages and improvements, for 
photographic coverage, topographic Mapping and 
updating etc., to be updated permanently or at least 
within the 4 year's period, see WALDHAUSL(1993).
