- The use of satellite remote sensing and GIS technology 
for forest monitoring 
- The use of the satellite imagery for the revision of 
topographic maps 
- Construction work on radiometers for ground truth 
measurements in the microwave frequency range 
serving to interpret ERS-1.SAR pictures 
- Stratification of the Polish Territory based on satellite 
photographs as a source of multi-purpose studies of 
environment. 
g) at Agricultural Academy Wroclaw 
- An aerophotographic hydrologic documentation of 
Wis?a river (from Ocewiécim to Tczew) at the lowest in 
the last century water level (1992) was elaborated. 
h) at State Enterprice for Geodesy & Cartography 
Warsaw 
- During last 10 years the photointerpretation technique is 
being successfully applied for creation of digital 
thematic maps for urban and agricultural planning, for 
environment protection needs and for special use by 
the great industrial plants and mines. Those thematic 
maps are produced with the scanned topographic maps 
in the background utilising Micro Station and I/RAS B. 
Hard-copies are produced with the use of HP Design 
Jet 650c. Usually aerial pictures 1:5000 to 1:18000 are 
used to produce thematic maps 1:1000, 1:2000, 
1:5000, 1:10000, 1:25000. 
i) at Warsaw Geodetic Enterprise 
- a LIS program DIGMAPA was elaborated to speed up 
the digital map production in the  Micro-Station 
environment. The new packet makes digital map 
production more reliable, much faster than with the use 
of Micro-Station alone and makes possible automatic 
vectorisation of several very difficult map details (roads, 
stairs, escarps, etc.), 
a LIS program InterSEG was elaborated for cadastral 
purposes. The packet works with the use of ORACLE 
data base and uses Micro Station environment for 
cartographic purposes. The solution allows for 
interactive use of both programs connected on-line, 
and for the utilisation of data stored in another 
cadastral systems. 
3. EDUCATION 
Photogrammetric education for.geodesists and surveyors 
is given in Poland in the following three different levels: 
1) high school or technical college - for Survey 
Technicians 
2) post high school education of 4 years for Bachelor of 
Surveying (technology level) 
3) university of 3.5 years for Engineer of Surveying and 
of 5 years for Master of Surveying. 
The primary and middle level of photogrammetry is 
provided at 28 technical schools. The university 
education in the field of surveying and geodesy is 
provided at 2 technical universities and at 3 agricultural 
universities and at the military academy. There is one 
faculty devoted purely to geodesy and cartography, and
