DANISH SOCIETY FOR PHOTOGRAM-
METRY AND SURVEYING (DSFL)
Society activities
The Danish Society for Photogrammetry and Surveying
represents Denmark in the ISPRS.
The objectives of the society are to- work for the develop-
ment and use of photogrammetry, remote sensing and
other surveying methods in theory and practise. However,
GIS and digital mapping are important elements of the
activities of the society as well.
The society has approximately 550 members. 125 of these
are companies, institutions or organisations while the
majority is personal members.
The society work through member meetings, working
groups, seminars, publications etc. |
10 to 15 meetings are arranged a year, usually organised
as lectures on specific subjects such as digital photogram-
metry, surveying, setting out and controlling large con-
structions, digital map production, data exchange, GIS
and GPS applications and theory.
Within the society a number of self-governing groups can
be establish. At the moment two groups are active - one
working with surveying instruments and methodology and
the other with the exchange format for digital map infor-
mation (the DSFL-format). This standard is a de facto
standard in Denmark and widely used by public map
producers, engineering companies, municipalities and
utility owners. À new updated versions has been released
in the spring of 1996 including extended object defini-
tions and a comprehensive code list. The standard now
meets the requirements of the most important Danish
authorities like The Road Administration, The National
Survey and Cadastre, The Danish State Railways, Tele-
Com Denmark, the computing centre for Danish munici-
palities and the electricity sector.
In the congress period the society has participated in
establishing a new specification for digital maps, better
suited for use in GIS.
A photo-copied magazine of 4 - 10 pages is issued 9 - 10
times a year. It contains notice and reports of meetings
and publish other relevant professional activities.
The society arranges visits to private companies and
public institutions, exhibitions, professional excursions
abroad, one or two-day seminars and publish the Danish
contributions to the ISPRS congresses including the
national report.
During the later years, seminars (200 - 400 participants)
and workshops (100 - 150 participants) have been ar-
ranged in cooperation with The Danish Cartographic
Society and a closer coordination of the activities of the
two societies are foreseen in the near future.
Besides the Danish Cartographic Society, DSFL coope-
rates closely with the newly established Danish Academy
for Spatial Information (DAiSI) and DSFL has close
contact with its sister organisations in the Nordic coun-
tries.
