We create new knowledge, science, openings and breakthroughs in the emerging field of laser scanning at the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute FGI.
The Centre of Excellence in Laser Scanning Research CoE-LaSR existed between 2014-2019 and was funded from Academy of Finland Centres of Excellence programme. The laser scanning research and development work is ongoing in our new projects.
We are continuously looking for new academic partnerships and business collaboration

On this video Dr Mariana Campos sets up a permanent laser scanning station in the premises of the Finnish geospatial research institute FGI, to monitor small phenological changes in the forest.
Laser scanning on the earth, in the air – and now under water
A year ago, the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute of the National Land Survey of Finland added a new laser scanning sensor to its comprehensive equipment selection. What makes this sensor special is that the wavelength used enables surveying underwater, and it can...
We develop cutting-edge laserscanning technology and open science
The CoE-LaSR has brought advances in technology, for example, new electronics for laser scanning, new laser scanning methods and systems, and new developments of the backpack laser scanner for mobile surveying. The CoE-LaSR researchers also developed and tested...
The scientist, who classified millions of points from one of the largest point cloud test datasets in the world
Szabolcs Lörincz is a 23-year old scientist from Transylvania. He recently defended his master’s thesis at Aalto University, which he completed working at the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute FGI.
