e In the project ‘The Usability of Single Tree Laser Scanning 
in Forest Planning’ (2002-2004) funded by the Academy of 
Finland laser scanning data is used to produce height 
estimates of individual trees which can then be used as a 
basis for the prediction of forest stand estimates. The other 
participant of the project is Finnish Geodetic institute, 
Department of Remote sensing and Photogrammetry. 
e Evaluation of the suitability of the ICP data set for forest 
biodiversity monitoring’ (2002) was a project funded by 
European commission, Directorate general JRC, Joint 
research centre, Insitute for Environment and Sustainability, 
Management Support unit. In the project the ability of 
European level forest condition monitoring data to describe 
also forest biodiversity was tested. 
e In the study ‘The use of a superresolution method in 
interpretation of forests from multiple NOAA/AVHRR 
images’ the objective was to clarify whether it is possible to 
recognize forested and  non-forested areas from 
NOAA/AVHRR images more accurately using a 
superresolution method than when using the original 
images.

6.2 The Finnish Society of Photogrammetry and Remote 
Sensing 
The Finnish Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing 
(1931-) is devoted to the research and development of 
photogrammetry and remote sensing in Finland. The Society 
gives recommendations for aerial photogrammetry. Last 
recommendation has been Recommendations for the Use of 
Digital Aerial Images (issue 1/1998), in Finnish. This 
publication is also available in CDROM.The most notable part 
of the work of the Society is to publish The Photogrammetric 
Journal of Finland (http://foto.hut.fi/seura/pjf.html).
