29 network surveys and with the semi-automatic and rapid operating sensor devices the amount of field work and the related qualifications are of minor relevance. The acquisition of data, although still of great importance, is much more strongly coupled to the manipulation (processing, administration, representation) of data. Also, with the new promising fields of application, the surveyor has to understand the professional tools, work style and product requirements of experts from other disciplines. Thus the surveyor becomes more a son of an "integrator", requiring interdisciplinary communication skills more than ever before. The need for this type of qualification is also indicated by the fact that the potential employment conditions and the related qualifications have a very wide spectnim. Today employment can be found in: • Research and teaching at universities and other research and educational institutions • Development, customer support arid marketing with system manufacturers • Technical ana administrative tasks in government agencies • Private engineering and planning firms • Independent consulting work » Manufacturing and exploration industry • Other employers like banks, insurance companies, etc. and a variety of users of surveying products in science, technology, industry' and an. The reorientation of social goals and values from the unrestricted exploitation of our planet to a thoughtful way of dealing with our limited resources and a sensitive protection of the natural environment also creates new' conditions for the surveying profession and has a severe impact on the required qualifications and thus on the educational concepts. This coincides with higher demands on the quality of industrial products and the automation of production and other processes. Nowadays we see tw ; o major fields of potential professional activity emerging for the surveying engineer: (a) Geographical Information Systems (GIS) (b) Close-range measurements (CRM) Here GIS and CRM stand as umbrella for a great number of tasks, technologies, products and fields of application. GIS is supposed to include all the traditional geodetic and land surveying techniques together with modern aspects of geophysical data acquisition, information systems, digital data handling, data analysis, and digital mapping, with applications from national map systems and multi-purpose cadastre to environmental or other spatial information systems. In this context photogrammetry and remote sensing play an important role not only as data acquisition techniques, but they also provide for a great wealth of algorithms, mainly raster oriented, but also vector based, which can support processing as w'ell as representation functions. CRM is used here as collective name for all activities and measurements w'hich are essentially local and non-topographic in nature or where the superior geographical reference plays a minor or no role at all. Thus CRM stands for applications in industrial measurements and engineering surveys, robotics and navigation, medical and biomechanical measurements, architecture and archeology, and a great number of other areas, which, from a photogrammetric point of view, are traditionally described as "non-topographic". Photogrammetry has always played a crucial part in these application areas, and will do so even more in the future. Machine vision, robot vision and medical ‘ imaging for instance are rapidly developing disciplines and the markets for industrial and medical measurement systems are forcefully expanding. We believe that photogrammetrists should play a key role in the advancement of these new' technologies.
