Solutions for forest management through new research
Identifying trees in high detail using drones and maps will improve forest management in the future. The new research projects of the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI) of the National Land Survey of Finland (NLS) and the UNITE competence centre develop innovative solutions for the collection of forest data and accurate harvesting.

The 30-year-old network of FinnRef stations forms the basis of Finland’s geospatial data
Our society uses geospatial data round the clock. This would not be possible without FinnRef, Finland’s network of GNSS base stations, which turns 30 this year. Over the years, stations have been replaced by more modern ones, and at the same time, their number has been increased to respond to the growing need for geospatial data in society.

Self-driving cars can soon detect slippery road surfaces
This winter, the self-driving car of the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI) of the National Land Survey of Finland (NLS) will operate in normal traffic to collect data about challenging traffic conditions. It allows researchers to train AI to detect any slippery parts of the road and other adverse factors to help autonomous vehicles also operate in winter conditions in the future.
