OVER 80 YEARS SINCE THE FIRST ROMANIAN PARTICIPATION TO THE ISP/ISPRS CONGRESSES AND OVER 40 YEARS SINCE THE APPEARANCE OF THE PHOTOGRAMMETRIC BULLETIN

摘要

The first aerial images used for civil purposes were taken in Romania in 1916, using self-made photographic cameras. Amongst the recent achievements we mention the first aerial digital photogrammetric flights on large surfaces, made in 2005 and 2006 with the digital large format cameras DMC and ADS-40. The development of Remote Sensing in Romania has began in 1970, with international cooperation projects between NASA and the Remote Sensing Laboratory of the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, referring to satellite data use for studying the Danube Delta and the Black Sea Coast Zone. Nowadays, lots of representative institutes (at least 9) have created their own remote sensing groups or laboratories. In 1991 Romanian Spatial Agency is being setting up, where over 600 researchers and university teachers are working in the Aerial Spatial National Programme. The training for the specialists with superior education in the field of photogrammetry began after 1940. The first Romanian presence was at the 2nd SIF Congress (Berlin 1926) and continues until 20th ISPRS Congress (Istanbul 2004) with 16 congress participations, each time with paper works. The current Photogrammetric and Remote Sensing Bulletin was issued in 30 numbers (the old series between 1966-1973) and 36 numbers (the new series between 1990-present). Thus they are considered to be a solid theoretical and practical platform for higher education of the specialists wanting to become doctors in the field.
