International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
In 1910, the International Society for Photogrammetry (ISP) was founded under the leadership of its first President, Eduard Dolezal, from Austria. After 70 years of functioning under its original name, the Society changed its name in 1980 to the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS).
Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable information from noncontact imaging and other sensor systems about the Earth and its environment, and other physical objects and processes through recording, measuring, analyzing and representation.

Photogrammetry may be defined as the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment. This is done through a process of recording, measuring, and interpreting aerial and terrestrial photographs. In a sense, the word photogrammetry may be analyzed in two parts: photo – meaning “picture,” and grammetry – meaning “measurement.” Therefore; photo-measurement.
Early developments in the theory and science of photogrammetry occurred many years before the actual invention of a suitable means to apply the application. As time pressed on, the theories became reality, and the necessary technologies became available. The timing could not have been better. Photogrammetry has become one of the most widely and technically accepted means for creating maps. Most of the development began in European countries and later spilled over into the U.S. and Canada.
