Autonomous Mapping and Driving

The research group of Autonomous Mapping and Driving is working actively in the areas of mobile mapping technology (hardware/software), applications, and algorithms.

Collaborative positioning and situational awareness

Verkottunut paikannus ja tilannekuva tutkimusryhmä (FGI-COPS) pyrkii tilannetietoisuuteen eri skenaarioissa hyödyntäen satelliittipaikannusta eli GNSS-satelliittien signaaleja, erityisesti Galileosta (mukaan lukien viranomaissignaali) ja eri sensoreista saatua hybriditunnistusdataa.

Geodata Science and Geocomputation

Research on efficient analysis and mining of spatiotemporal data for exploiting big data and for producing faster analyses.

Geospatial Representation and Interaction

Influential research on design, construction and usability of purposeful geospatial representations for exploration and conception of geographic information.

Geospatial Technologies

Versatile and efficient geospatial network service solutions based on modern technologies.

Gravity

The research group maps the gravity field of the Earth both in Finland and globally, and studies its variation in time due to geophysical phenomena.

Mapping and Change Analysis Applications

The Mapping group develops automatic methods to interpret remote sensing and Earth observation data and their changes.

Mobile Mapping and Autonomous Driving

The research group of Mobile Mapping and Autonomous Driving is working actively in the areas of mobile mapping technology (hardware/software), applications, and algorithms.

Navigation and sensing technologies

The Navigation and sensing technologies group focuses on sensor and sensing technology suitable for navigation applications. The group utilizes optical, inertial and other physical sensing methods and evaluates and develops state-of-the-art algorithms to process and fuse the sensor data..

Reference systems

The main focus areas of the Group are the accuracy, precision, and reliability of the measuring techniques and transformations.

Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing

The Resilient Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) research group focuses on a wide range of technologies that ensure safe and reliable use of PNT. The group utilizes unique features from Galileo (including PRS) and other GNSS signals, signals of opportunity, sensor fusion, and other alternative methods to develop solutions for resilient PNT.

Smart pointclouds

Group website will be available in autumn 2018.

Space Geodesy

In the research group, we utilize and develop various space geodetic and astronomical observing techniques covering different wavelengths: from very long baseline radio interferometry (VLBI) and radar, to satellite laser ranging (SLR) and traditional optical observations.

Spectrophotogrammetry

The Spectrophotogrammetry group investigates the utilisation of the 3D geometry, high-resolution photogrammetric images and object reflectance signatures in various applications.

We recommend using our e-services because of the coronavirus situation
