TL;DR: In this article, a general solution to the problem of relative orientation where approximate values of unknowns are no longer needed was presented, where a new algorithm and successive approximation were used.
Abstract: The author feels that the present methods for the determination of relative orientation elements on aerial photographs are not generally effective. She has conducted an experimental investigation and obtained a high degree of accuracy in the determination of these elements using a new algorithm and successive approximation. The author presents a general solution to the problem of relative orientation where approximate values of unknowns are no longer needed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a fully automated technique of map transformation using an iteration method to transform a map of disuniform density areas into a map with uniform density areas, illustrated with maps of rural population density and total population density of Czechoslovakia.
Abstract: The authors propose a fully automated technique of map transformation using an iteration method to transform a map of disuniform density areas into a map of uniform density areas. The technique is illustrated with particular reference to maps of rural population density and total population density of Czechoslovakia.

TL;DR: A model of the language of maps is constructed that distinguishes two sublanguages, one reflecting the locational aspects of maps (coordinate grids, etc.), the other reflecting the map content.
Abstract: The author, head of the Department of Cartography at the Institute of Geography, analyzes the language of maps in terms of general semiotic principles. Using the similarity of processes in other language systems, he constructs a model of the language of maps that distinguishes two sublanguages, one reflecting the locational aspects of maps (coordinate grids, etc.), the other reflecting the map content. The discussion touches on the system of map symbols as a linguistic feature, analyzes the system of map language in terms of such linguistic features as vocabulary, grammar and syntax, and draws other analogies between the language of maps and other language systems.

TL;DR: The desire of cartographers in the West to construct a theory of cartography entirely on a communicative basis has suffered an obvious failure as discussed by the authors, and the systematic replacement of theoretical "landmarks" has begun.
Abstract: The desire of cartographers in the West to construct a theory of cartography entirely on a communicative basis has suffered an obvious failure. The systematic replacement of theoretical “landmarks” has begun. In this process, several trends have become evident: the desire to eliminate the most vulnerable areas of the communicative theory of cartography, the intention to channel this theory into the path of cognitive cartography, attempts to find new theoretical foundations for cartography, etc. The paper analyzes these phenomena, their positive, or, conversely, unacceptable tendencies. Translated from: Vestnik Moskovskogo Universiteta, geografiya, 1983, No. 6, pp. 11-18.
TL;DR: A discussion of the unity of geography and cartography at different stages of their historical development is presented in this paper, with an indication of new links between these sciences in the current world.
