MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director, NTIC
SUBJECT: NFIC Participation in Upcoming International
Society for Photogrammetry Meetings
1. It speaks well for the management and policy of NPIC that
several Center personnel were permitted to attend the International
Photogrammetry meetings at Lisbon, Portugal, in 1964. Through
attendance at such meetings contact is maintained and developments
observed at the international level in the field of photogrammetry
and photographic interpretation. It is my opinion that this contact
is significant and should be continued. Also I feel it is important
that the Center maintain this level of contact during the four years
between international photogrammetry meetings.
2. In this period between international meetings, the seven
(7) commissions of the International Society continue as active
working and study groups preparing for the next international
meeting and conducting studies in photogrammetry and photographic
interpretation and related subjects.
3. This spring, summer and fall these commissions are holding
a series of meetings. The first of these, The International
Symposium on Spatal Aerotriangulation, by Commission III was held
at the University of Illinois the week of 28 February - 4 March 1966.
From 18 to 23 April 1966 50X1
there will be a combined meeting of all seven commissions at Bad
Godesberg, Germany, which will include a SyMlOosiUm on Automation
in Photogrammetry by Commission II. 50X1
It is here most of the plans for the 50X1
1968 International Society for Photogrammetry IX Congress in
Lausanne, Switzerland, will be firmed up and decisions made
regarding invited papers. In August 1966, Commission IV is holding
a meeting in Prague, Czechoslovakia, on Photogrammetry in the
Measurement of the Earth's Surface. From 19 to 23 September 1966,

SUBJECT: NPIC Participation in Upcoming International Society
for Photogrammetry Meetings
Commission I is holding a symposium in London to discuss photographic
image quality. This Commission, chaired by the U.K., has four
separate investigation groups studying: a) image quality;
b) measurement of the image; c) photo materials; and d) new
equipment and methods in flying photography. The following week,
26 to 30 September 1966, in Paris, Commission VII, Photographic
Interpretation under French Chairmanship, is meeting on Methods
of Photographic Interpretation_
Then in October, there is a
symposium on the Technical and Economic Setup of a Photogrammetric
Enterprise, to be held in Florence, Italy. Also during October,
in Tokyo, Japan, there will be an international meeting covering
Photogrammetry in Civil Engineering and Industry, sponsored by
Commission V.
4. From the above list of activities, I believe there are
three at which this Center should have representation: the meeting
of the seven commissions at Bad Godesberg, Germany, in April; the
September meeting of Commission I on Image Quality held in London;
and the September meeting of Commission VII in Paris. covering
Photoaraphic Interpretation.
Past experience has shown that at these symposiums there are often
several groups meeting simultaneously and one person can not cover
all the activities.
6. Our business is photographic interpretation and photogrammetry
and the thinking, developments, and studies performed by other groups,
in particular those we do not have frequent contact with, should be
known to the Center. I believe this is time well spent.
