EDUCATION IN PHOTOGRAMMETRY AT THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Kurt Novak and Anton F. Schenk Department of Geodetic Science and Surveying The Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio USA Photogrammetry has a long tradition at The Ohio State University. World known scientists taught this subject at the Department of Geodetic Science and Surveying; many alumni hold influential positions at private companies and government agencies worldwide. During the last two years a major innovation of our program has been made to adapt it to the increasing demand of companies for engineers with a broad knowledge in both analytical mapping and digital image analysis. Nowadays, photogrammetry no longer relies on analytical and analog instruments for drawing line maps alone. It rather became the most important input source for geographic information systems (GIS) and a major contributor to computer vision. So a modern photogrammetric education must concentrate on advanced and automated methods of digital image analysis without leaving out the basics of analytical point positioning. Our graduates have the ability to integrate photogrammetric techniques in a diverse field of applications and compete in an interdisciplinary environment. At the Department of Geodetic Science and Surveying, students have a unique opportunity to participate in this type of research and profit from experience of faculty and professionals from a variety of disciplines. The photogrammetry program has been revised and upgraded to the standards of modern image analysis. An independent PhD program has been established with a number of high-level courses specializing in such diverse fields as digital signal analysis and pattern recognition. The Master’s program has new and revised courses as well, both on modern analytical and digital photogrammetric methods. Due to successful research in this field, the department was able to acquire the most advanced equipment available. Three state-of-the-art analytical plotters and four imaging workstations are available both for research and course work. This allows students to get practical experience with modern photogrammetric equipment and actively participate in research. In this article we want to point out the opportunities offered to students majoring in photogrammetry. We will show how- students are involved in advanced research, and how they take advantage of studying at a unique department that combines faculty from all fields of geodesy and mapping. Moreover, we will demonstrate that the funding of our research, which is comes from private industries and supplementary funds from NASA, allows us to support a large number of graduate students. This gives them the opportunity to get in contact with potential employers. THE DOCTORATE PROGRAM IN PHOTOGRAMMETRY Although the courses in photogrammetry are offered at the undergraduate, graduate and PhD levels, we want to concentrate on the PhD program which is unique in the following respects: • The offering of advanced level courses in digital photogrammetry, including such topics as digital image process ing, signal processing, computer vision and selected topics in artificial intelligence.
