Finnish Remote Sensing Days 2012: book of abstracts

Abstract

Helsinki 2012 Remote Sensing Club of Finland is an informal body bringing together actors from both academic and commercial arenas. The position of the chair rotates among members. One of the most visible tasks of the Club is arranging yearly Remote Sensing Days. The event is hosted by the organization of the chair of the steering group. Thus, in 2012, Remote Sensing Days were held on the Kumpula campus of the University of Helsinki (shown in false color on the back and front covers of this book as recorded by airborne AISA Eagle imaging spectrometer in 2011). The goal of the meeting is to facilitate nationwide exchange of information and ideas. Remote Sensing Days allow to obtain a quick overview of the diverse remote sensing activities currently underway in Finland. However, the most important goal of the event is to bring together the community involved in remote sensing research and development scattered among the many research institutions, universities, and private companies. This book is a collection of the abstracts of the presentations given at the 2012 Finnish Remote Sensing Days held in the Linus Torvalds Auditorium in the Exactum building on October 25–26. It is a snapshot of remote sensing research in Finland in 2012 and, hopefully, helps the reader to recollect the presentations given at the meeting and to find new contacts in the Finnish remote sensing community. Members of the organizing committee for the 2012 Finnish Remote Sensing Days – and also the steering group of the Remote Sensin
