NATIONAL REPORT TO THE XIII INTERNATIONAL 
CONGRESS FOR PHOTOGRAMMETRY 
Helsinki 1976 
Reported by J. Artimo 
Introduction 
The importance of photogrammetry has remarkably increased in Finland 
since 1972. This has been manifested mainly by the introduction 
of new technological applications and by extensive investigations. 
During the years 1972-1975 special attention has been paid to 
analytical photogrammetry, remote sensing, photointerpretation and 
applications of engineering photogrammetry. The introduction of auto- 
mation into the production of maps has given the past term a significance 
of its own. 
Research has been directed mainly to the calibration of cameras and 
instruments, to investigations on the quality of aerial photographs, to 
remote sensing, and to various applications of the interpretation of 
aerial photographs. 
Research work has been done mainly at the Institute of Photogrammetry 
of the Helsinki University of Technology and in the Laboratory of Land
