Subsection 2.3.b describes not country-wide projects,
such as for environmental cadaster, for engineering
projects, road administration, architectural heritage
documentation, etc. Good examples are prefigurative
and give new impulses to the profession. It should be
well distinguished between just unique examples and
often repeated projects for profitable commercial use.
Level A provides an estimate on the various types and its
characteristics, and the various sizes of projects, of
applications of photogrammetry, remote sensing or GIS,
in groups: Satellite, aerial and terrestrial, for each of them
considering the percentage of production (Groups: Main
> 50 % production, Major 10-50%, Minor < 10 %).
At level B more detailed data can be given by stating the
percentage of production involved in certain type of proj-
ects (groups as at level A), e.g. for aerial photogram-
metry: education and training, research, consultancy,
manufacture/software, ^ distribution/support, ^ national
mapping, project mapping, resource survey, monitoring
of environment, defence/police/emergency, monitoring of
change of land use, urban studies, cadastral surveys etc.
Or for terrestrial photogrammetry: registration of historic
monuments, archaeology, industry/engineering, medi-
cine, science, etc. Or for satellite remote sensing:
education & training, research, consultancy, distribution
& management, national mapping, project mapping,
national resources survey, project resources survey,
environment monitoring, hydrography, oceanography,
meteorology, space sciences etc. At level B also an
information about the size of funds available from
governmental, private and non-profit organisation could
be appreciated, as well as information about the number,
size and type of projects ordered by each of those three
types of organisations.
At Level C all comments, characterisation of typical and
special projects, general information about production
trends and expected fields of future applications would be
interesting.
Subsection 2.4. could concem all types of
photogrammetric imagery. Satellite and aeroplane-born
images and their availability. The treatment of this topic is
very important, because information gained by aerial
photographs is the basis for any regional planning, non-
availability thus is a brake for progress within the
country.
At Level A just general data is provided about the
percentage of the country area covered by aerial imagery
during the reported period in four scale groups: larger
than 1:5 000, from 1:5 000 to 1:25 000, 1:25 000 to 80
000, smaller than 80 000. At that level also the number of
satellite scenes produced and those purchased during
the reporting period would be given.
At the Level B more detailed information about aerial
photographs and satellite imagery would be interesting.
There would be given general data for each reporting
69
year about names of satellite and number of scenes pur-
chased and number of photographs taken at certain
scale with the use of certain camera system, accompa-
nied by information about film type, ground control
density and GPS use, respectively ground resolution and
radiation band.
At Level C would be interesting the description of the
system of aerial photography, of the average time
needed to get permission for taking aerial photographs,
availability of aerial photographs for the public. Also
important would be the following information: what kind of
institution owns the negatives (diapositives) of the new
and of older aerial pictures; are there central archives
and meta data bases saying where is what archived?
Subsection 2.5 should provide data about research proj-
ects, their scientific objectives and results, as well as the
information about sources of means for research and
development. Proper information would prevent the not
intended redoing of research. The modern
communication systems allow easily for mutual use of
progress. Research is publicly financed, often from
international funds. Quite often the international
community has some right on informations about results.
At Level A general data would be given on the number of
research projects executed by governmental, private,
and non-profit organisations; also the number of research
projects executed in various thematical groups will be
given.
At Level B information about research funds sources
(international, government, private, non-profit
organisations) and funds distribution (to governmental,
private or non-profit research organisation) would be
appreciated. Here could be given also the names of
important projects sorted in thematical groups.
At Level C the results of selected research projects and
the future objectives of research could be presented,
accompanied by information about number of scientists
involved in execution, funds used, and about the
respective publications.
Subsection 2.6 is designed to provide information about
the education and training activities. International
cooperation in education and training is not only
necessary as mutual help but also as a basis for
commercial cooperation and mutual understanding during
professional life. An important issue for the future is to
ensure life long learning (LLL). The Member Report
should contain certain entries on the practical realisation
of LLL.
At Level A general data about the number of under-
graduate, graduate and postgraduate alumni per year in
Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing , and GIS, and the
number of schools involved on each education level.
At Level B each school could be given by its name,
accompanied by titles and levels of courses or studies
provided and number of alumni per year.
At Level C the curricula could be described more in detail
and the number of contact-hours for separate thematical
study groups could be given. Laboratory exercises
