Photogrammetry disposes of powerful means for high 
precision determination of points on the terrain. 
(vi) Numerical mapping of aerial photographs for 
compilation of land maps at scale of 1:5000 and larger, 
necessary for the restitution of ownership of agricultural 
lands in the existing real boundaries mainly in mountain 
and hilly regions of the country. 
Here one should add also the topographic map at scale 
of 1:5000 which is produced and periodically updated by 
aerial photogrammetry. 
7. CONCLUSION 
In conclusion it should be noted that a brief account such 
as.this one could hardly be conducive to an adequate 
idea of the scope of development, achieved by 
photogrammetry in Bulgaria during the past ninety year 
period. Its particularly intensive and wide upsurge took 
place during the last 5 decades. The future of 
photogrammetry in the country is in the application of 
automated photogrammetric systems for acquisition and 
processing of space, aerial and terrestrial data alike. 
To attain this objective Bulgarian photogrammetrists rely 
both on their own capabilities and cooperation with their 
colleagues from abroad.
