Birdmen may prove new map makers for government
Washington, May 28. The Department of the Interior exhib it at an education expo suggests aerial photography could transform map making. While not yet replacing ground surveys, officials say photogrammetry from aircraft will greatly advance cartography. The Geological Survey continues experiments begun in World War I to stabilize and correct airplane photographs for accurate topographic maps. The program faces two main challenges: camera stabilization and distortion corrections due to terrain elevation. Meanwhile local notices list Memorial Day events and residents' travels.
