Dear Sir:
At the 1984 Congress of the International Society of Photo-
grammetry and Remote Sensing in Rio de Janeiro, Mr. Lawrence W.
Fritz, National Ocean Service, was elected President of Com-
mission II, and he has asked me to chair Working Group II/l,
"Analytical Instruments," with Chet Slama as Secretary. We would
be pleased to have a representative from CIA serve on this
Working Group.
From recommendations made at the Rio Congress, we have com-
piled the attached list of tentative objectives. Other objectives
are likely to be recommended by new members and added to the
list.
A list of tentative business meetings is also attached, and
hopefully, there will be other business and technical meetings,
some abroad for the benefit of overseas members. We plan to have
our membership list completed by March 10, 1985, and a firm
schedule of meetings by April 1, 1985.
If you are able to accept this invitation to have a
representative join our Working Group, please let Mr. Chester C.
Slama (address below) know by March 1, 1985. We will welcome any
suggestions you or your representative might have on objectives,
meeting dates and locations, and other working Group II/1
activities.
Sincerely,
Morris L. McKenzie
Chairman, Working Group II/1

WORKING GROUP II/1 OBJECTIVES
1984-1988.
January 28, 1985
1. Testing Procedures for Analytical Stereoplotters.
A manual of standard procedures for testing accuracy
will be prepared to help buyers evaluate the accuracy of
analytical stereoplotters being considered for purchase and
to help users make periodic accuracy checks of analytical
stereoplotters already in service.
2. Review, and if needed, revise and update the "Analytical
Plotter Evaluation Guide" and the "Introduction to Analytical
Plotter Evaluation Guide."
The "Analytical Plotter Evaluation Guide" and the
"Introduction to Analytical Plotter Evaluation Guide" were
prepared during the 1976-1980 and 1980-1984 WG II/1 tenures,
respectively. They need to be reviewed for possible revision
by each succeeding WG II/1 to keep them from becoming
obsolete.
3. Standardize input, output, and programs for analytical ster-
eoplotters.
The ability to exchange data and software between
analytical stereoplotter users, or even between stereo-
plotters of a given organization, is limited because of the
lack of compatibility between makes and models. A subgroup
will be formed to prepare a manual of guidelines for
standardizing input, output, and computer programs.
4. Compile a reference manual listing analytical instruments and
manufacturers.
This reference manual will be prepared to help the
prospective buyer contact manufactures.
5. A handbook will be assembled containing items 1 through 4.
The handbook of reference manuals will be available from
ISPRS Commission II President.
