ABSTRACT
Engineering photogrammetrie methods are being used more often in
Poland, but the rate of initiation into production stage is
rather slow* The paper discusses the reasons, which delay the
development of these photogrammetrie applications* The existing
stage is presented* Lately undertaken activity which can
improve this situation and suggestions which can more quickly
introduce engineering photogrammetrie methods to common use
in Poland are described*
INTRODUCTION
Under the name of engineering photogrammetry one can understand
the surveing methods of photogrammetry, used in the phase of
designing, constructing or exploitation of a structure or de
vice* The utilization of terrestrial photogrammetry on that
scope by a few Polish companies, gave diverse results* There
is no notlcable expansion of photogrammetry in industry, and
except for a few exceptions, it has a rather narrow field of
application* There are even companies which do not believe in
engineering photogrammetry profitability*
A certain study has been undertaken to make clear the causes
of that unfavourable situation* I will try to describe the
state of affairs in the field of utilization of terrestrial
engineering photogrammetry in Poland* Pointing out some draw
back-factors, I will try also, indicate the ways, how to fight
the appearing difficulties*
The state of Engineering Photogrammetry in Poland
The methods of terrestrial engineering photogrammetry are
applied instead of methods of geodesy, often in cases when the
quality of photogrammetric results is not obtainable any other
way* It happens usually, when a continuous line plotting gives
a better description of an object than a point by point method«
It happens also when simultanous recording of numerous elements
of dynamic system, giv a better description of deformation
than stretchen in time geodetic survey, or when need of objecti
vity or documentality results in photographs supremacy over
any field note*
In cases when the photogrammetric survey is the only proper
method, the economy of survey doe 3 not play the main role any
more* It is a promoting sytuation for dispersion of some methods
of terrestrial photogrammetry in industry*
