2.2. Research 
Both institutes and firms are involved in research. Four 
photogrammetrists work at the Institute for Surveying and 
Photogrammetry at the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic 
Engineering. Most of their research is undertaken in the 
building of 3 D architectural models and the collection of 
photogrammetric data. Research is financed by the Office 
of cultural heritage of the Republic of Slovenia and the 
Office of monument building and restoration. 
They use an analog Topcart machine, high capacity PCs 
and in 1996 they bought an accurate analytic PROMAP 
machine. They use Orient, Scop, DMS and Acad software 
and they write additional programs to make the regular 
software more powerful. Employees at the Institute for 
Surveying and Photogrammetry also work as assistants 
at the faculty. They undertake Post graduate studies at 
the Department of Photogrammetry and Cartography and 
at international seminars and courses. 
The Slovenian Forestry Institute carries out research in 
the use of photogrammetric images for producing forest 
maps. They also study how to evaluate damage in forests 
disasters. The research is requested and then paid for by 
the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Research on the 
forest quality based on the IR images was financed by the 
Ministry for Science and Technology. 
There are eight employees working on photogrammetry 
and remote sensing. They are also included professors 
and assistants at the Biotechnical Faculty. The equipment 
which they use is mostly linked to powerful PCs and work 
stations. They use APY for stereorestitution, PCI and 
DMS for orthophoto maps. For the orientation they use 
GPS receivers. 
2.3. Projects 
In Slovenia, photogrammetric images are acquired 
methodically by aerophotographing. The CAS project 
(cyclic aerophotographing of Slovenia) has been put into 
operation. Images from the whole territory of Slovenia are 
to be taken within three years. The project started in 
1984. For the last two cycles the scale of photographing 
has been the same for the whole area, 1 : 17 500. 
The CAS project is financed by the Surveying and 
Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia. 
Furthermore, it also finances the elaboration of digital 
orthophoto maps. Series production started in 1994. 
According to official recording up to now 209 sheets or 7 
per cent of Slovenia have been covered. In 1996 200 new 
sheets shall be produced. 
Photogrammetric projects are carried out by two 
institutes, the Monolit company and the Institute of 
Geodesy of the Republic of Slovenia. 
The Slovenian Forestry Institute carries out projects by 
using photogrammetric images for producing forest maps 
Which are used in the administration of forests 
and space planing projects. 
The Institute for Surveying and Photogrammetry at the 
Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering is mostly active 
69 
in the field of production and maintenance of topographic 
plans and maps, photogrammetric measurements of 
architectural buildings, projects of industrial 
photogrammetry and other nontopographic applications. 
The Monolit company is specialized in information 
systems (GIS) which are present in the market. They 
employed two photogrammetrists who elaborate expert's 
and study reports and other projects. For the time being 
they mostly work in the field of digital orthophoto maps 
from images taken by cyclic aerophotographing or images 
taken by Russian satellites. In their work they use 
software from Orient, Dopp, Intergraph modelar and own 
programs. 
The Institute for Geodesy is the biggest company dealing 
with geodesy and photogrammetry as the number of 
employees is concerned. There are twenty two 
employees working in the field of photogrammetry. 
They have the biggest production and maintenance of 
topographic plans and maps from, photogrammetry in 
Slovenia and do research only within an own research 
department which means a research unit for production 
purposes. They do both technological research and 
development of own solutions. The Institute for Geodesy 
carries out all photogrammetric works. 
They dispose of their own aerophotographing staff who is 
equipped with three cameras and two airplanes. Their 
equipment also includes several analog stereorestitution 
instruments (Wild), analytic stereorestitution instruments 
(Leica SD2000), a digital station (Leica Hellava DSW100, 
DPW770) and software of Kork. They use a UMK 10/1318 
camera for terrestrial photogrammetry. 
Staff members are trained at the Faculty of Civil and 
Geodetic Engineering, post graduate studies are 
undertaken in seminars, conventions and other 
workshops. 
3. REMOTE SENSING 
3.1. Education 
There is no special education in remote sensing, except 
for post graduate studies where individual programs are 
implemented. Post graduate studies in this field may be 
attended at the Biotechnical Faculty - the Department for 
Forestry, at the Office for Statistics of the Republic of 
Slovenia and the Center for Scientific Research of the 
Slovenian Academy of Science and Arts. 
Further education is acquired on international congresses 
and seminars. 
3.2. Research 
Research is done by the Office for Statistics of the 
Republic of Slovenia, the Center for Scientific Research 
of the Slovenian Academy of Science and Arts 
and the Slovenian Forestry Institute. 
The Office for Statistics of the Republic of Slovenia is a 
government institution dealing with remote sensing, 
especially in the field of data distribution theories. There
