We create new knowledge, science, openings and breakthroughs in the emerging field of laser scanning.
The Centre of Excellence in Laser Scanning Research CoE-LaSR is home of more than 30 Dr.Sc and PhD’s from Finnish Geospatial Research Institute,
University of Oulu, University of Helsinki and Aalto University.
The CoE-LaSR is funded from Academy of Finland Centres of Excellence programme.
Research to advance precision forestry
3D precision forestry is one of the main tasks in CoE-LaSR, which the partners have strongly focused on since 2007. During 2014-2016 all major players in forest sector in Finland have taken 3D precision forestry as one of their core development tasks....
Intensity calibration has led to Multispectral Laser Scanning
In laser scanning, intensity value is often recorded for each point – in addition to point cloud x,y,z information. The need for radiometric calibration of the laser scanning intensity stems from the possibility of using calibrated intensity as additional feature for...
CoE -LaSR -researcher appointed as Assistant Professor at Aalto University
One of our post doc researchers, Matti Vaaja, has been appointed Assistant Professor at Aalto University’s Department of Built Environment. (1.8.2017-31.7.2022.) This is a great success for the Centre of Excellence as our aim is to boost knowledge based growth...
Single photon laser radar enables improved performance and miniaturization of radars
A first realization of a novel pulsed time-of-flight laser radar has been actualized by the CoE Oulu group. What makes the radar unique is that it is based on high speed (FWHM ~100ps) and high energy (~1nJ) optical transmitter pulses produced with a specific laser...
Multiplatform Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS)
Mobile laser scanning is an emerging technology capable of capturing three-dimensional data from surrounding objects. With state-of-the-art sensors, the achieved point clouds capture object details with good accuracy and precision. Many of the applications involve...
Method to retrieve stem volume
In the boreal forest zone and in many forest areas, there exist gaps between the forest crowns. For example, in Finland, more than 30% of the first pulse data of laser scanning reflect directly from the ground without any interaction with the canopy. By increasing the...
CMOS Time-to-Digital Converter
A multichannel time-to-digital converter (TDC) implemented with 0.35-μm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology that uses a low-frequency crystal as reference and measures the time intervals with counter and delay line interpolation techniques is described....
