TOPICS OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND REMOTE SENSING
AND ISPRS STRUCTURE

The scientific work of ISPRS is carried out by Technical Commissions and Working Groups. The table below show the relationship between the major topics and the Commissions and Working groups. There are 8 Commissions, 2 primarily concerned with photogrammetry, 2 with GIS and 2 with remote sensing. The other 2 deal with sensors, of all types, and with education and outreach. These are listed across the top of the table. The major subject areas divided into topics are listed on the left. The numbers in the boxes are the numbers of the working groups which deal with the topics. For example a 1 in the Commission I column refers to WG I/1, whilst a I/V refers to inter-commission WG I/V.
Each box is linked to the Commission or WG home page.
