| Description |
The International Scientific Committee for Documentation and Architectural Photogrammetry (CIPA) is a joint committee set up by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS). It ensures liaison and co-operation between the ICOMOS and the ISPRS.
Its main purposes are:
* to promote recording, documentation and study of status and changes of cultural objects, monuments, groups of buildings, including their environment, villages, towns, sites and cultural landscapes by means of further development of applications of photography, photogrammetry and related disciplines and techniques.
* to actively pursue programmes which define research needs, stimulate and support research activity, and increase exchange and dissemination of relevant information in order to promote greater understanding in the field.
* to actively pursue international co-operation in that domain.
