INTRODUCTION – Start application of large scale topographic mapping by aerial photogrammetry in Russia and USA 1939 – 1945 – During the Second World War large scale mapping became common occurrence for all countries, participated in the war After 1945 – All European countries started topographic mapping by aerial photogrammetry Updating of Bulgarian large scale topographic map by digital photogrammetric software PHOTOMOD 5.1, Vanya Petrova September 19–22, 2011, Tossa de Mar, Spain From imagery to map: digital photogrammetric technologies 11 th International Scientific and Technical Conference

PHOTOGRAMMETRY IN BULGARIA Start application of aerial stereophotogrammetry for production of topographic map at 1: scale Start application of aerial stereophotogrammetry for production of topographic maps at 1:5000 and 1: scale All maps periodically are revised Orthophotoplans at 1:5000 and 1: scale are prodused over 85% of Bulgarian territory, intended for rural cadastre 2006, 2010, Orthophotoplans at 1: scale are made for the Ministry of Agriculture and Food over the 98% of the territory of Bulgaria ( sq. km) Digital aerial photogrammetry is used for production of orthophotoplans at 1:1000 and 1:2000 scale over territory of 1467 sq. km Sofia Municipality, as well as generation of DTM Updating of Bulgarian large scale topographic map by digital photogrammetric software PHOTOMOD 5.1, Vanya Petrova September 19–22, 2011, Tossa de Mar, Spain From imagery to map: digital photogrammetric technologies 11 th International Scientific and Technical Conference

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND GEO DATA Aerial photogrammetry Satellite photogrammetry Updating of Bulgarian large scale topographic map by digital photogrammetric software PHOTOMOD 5.1, Vanya Petrova September 19–22, 2011, Tossa de Mar, Spain From imagery to map: digital photogrammetric technologies 11 th International Scientific and Technical Conference

WHY DIGITAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY? High accuracy, good visualization with high pixel resolution and quick results over the large territories (thuss updating topographic maps will compensate the loss of time) Satellite sensors may soon replace the aerial photography These images would be captured and transmitted as digital data, which could be processed by computers There are enormous fields where digital photogrammetry can be used, for example creation of 3D models, etc. Updating of Bulgarian large scale topographic map by digital photogrammetric software PHOTOMOD 5.1, Vanya Petrova September 19–22, 2011, Tossa de Mar, Spain From imagery to map: digital photogrammetric technologies 11 th International Scientific and Technical Conference

THE PILOT PROJECT PURPOSE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS To create new technical specifications according to the modern standards and technologies and to meet user needs For identification of main activities and rules for creating digital large scale topographic maps (1:5000, 1:10 000), map content, technical processes To serve as a solid basis for current technical specifications, regulating the requirements and guidance of technology for creating and updating digital topographic database collection and use of topographic information Bulgarian Geodetic System - BGS 2005 Digital model Accuracy - according existing technical specification Classification of map symbols Filling in database from various sources of information Updating of Bulgarian large scale topographic map by digital photogrammetric software PHOTOMOD 5.1, Vanya Petrova September 19–22, 2011, Tossa de Mar, Spain From imagery to map: digital photogrammetric technologies 11 th International Scientific and Technical Conference

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Concerning the modern digital technology and the steady increase urban territories, it is necessary to create and update the entire topographic information For the new method of mapping i.e. new technologies, technical means and software it is needed to create new ordinances or to update the old ones The digital technology significantly reduce the time required for producing or updating maps and will improve the overall accuracy Classical mapping is supplemented by new types of visualization systems from different platforms The pictures themselves represent huge opportunities for visualization and analysis of 2D, 3D and 4D data These capabilities must be integrated into e-government and e-commerce development Internet provides more efficient means of communication than printed media especially when it comes to rapidly developing technology Updating of Bulgarian large scale topographic map by digital photogrammetric software PHOTOMOD 5.1, Vanya Petrova September 19–22, 2011, Tossa de Mar, Spain From imagery to map: digital photogrammetric technologies 11 th International Scientific and Technical Conference
