F. PRIVATE SECTOR
In Austria photogrammetric production is performed
to a large extent by private enterprises belonging to
so-called “Ingenieurkonsulenten für Vermessungs-
wesen” (= consultant engineers of surveying).
Regarding the high basic expense for photo-
grammetric instrumentation, it is obvious that only
few consultant engineers will be able to install an
office of photogrammetric production. Hence, only
one or two of such offices exist in each province.
Remote sensing is not applied in this connection,
but there exists a special private enterprise in the
province of Salzburg, where remote sensing data
are handled.
In general, the application of photogrammetry
occurs in collaboration with official authorities
(federal provinces and cities) and refers to the
production of large scale maps (2 1:10,000), ortho-
photomaps, precise situation maps for several
utilities (postcables, pipelines, noise pollution, etc.)
and the use for architectural and archaeological
purposes. |t is not possible to explain all
applications in detail, but everybody who is familiar
with photogrammetry, image processing and
mapping will be able to imagine the large variety of
possibilities Austrian photogrammetry can offer in
practice.
