In the field of civil engineering, and chiefly of motorway studies, the development of photogrammetry lies through the evolution of conventional methods and the adaptation of actual techniques. Emphasis is placed upon the importance of photo‐interpretation for the preliminary plan; the separation of the graphically drawn planimetry from the directly recorded altimetric data; the electronic computation of data using interpolation surfaces and “smoothing” methods; and the automatic drafting of results as plans, models, sections, profiles or perspective views. The author thinks that these developments may modify photogrammetric processes in topographic mapping and he calls for the improvement of some instruments.
