48 Teodor J. Blachut SENSE AND NONSENSE IN OUR DISCIPLINE AND PROFESSION presented at The Rhodos Symposium of ISPRS Commission VI 13 - 1ô September 1990 Commission VI of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing has specific areas of responsibility that are outlined in various pronouncements of the Society. These include such concerns as education in the discipline, terminology, the world status of surveying and mapping, the history of photogrammetry, and so on. These are important aspects of our discipline. In this present address, however, I would like to turn your attention to a broader question which has an obvious bearing not only on the fields'of study of our Commission bur on the whole discipline and profession of photogrammetry. I would mention at the outset that it is not my intention - to establish a "catalogue of sins" in cur field, but rather to argue that because we are concentrating on problems of detail and techniques we are losing sight of the real scope of our discipline. As the saying goes, "We cannot see the forest for the trees" . As I see it, the problem is as follows. The main responsibility of surveying and mapping, of which photogrammetry is an essential part, is to provide reliable information on the terrain, in sufficient detail and precision for use by society at large for administration, planning and land development. By far the largest surveying and mapping activity is in property surveying. This can be in the form of cadastral surveying or legal surveying. As these terms may mean different things in different countries and in different languages, I would like to give you my definition for the purpose of this talk. * *T.J. Blachut, Dr.Sc.Techn., Dr.h.c., Fellow, Academy of Sciences of the Royal Society of Canada; retired head of the Fhotogrammetiric Research of the National Research Council of Canada, wnere number of novel concepts, methods and instrument systems originated. Among them the Analytical Plotter and the Stereo-Orthophoto system. Address: 61 Rothwell Dr., 0 t t a w a, K1J 7C.7, CANADA.
