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
