Publications --- April 5, 2012 -------- Ilkka Korpela
In the academia, you are probed by publishing activity. The more items the better. We are not asked how many readers we had. But, it is good if the work is cited by others. And it does not matter if the citing is "Contradictory to false results by Korpela (2008)" - the number of citings is what counts! Publish or Perish. Someday the criteria will change - and the the academic herd will instantly be redirected to a new direction.

Computer programs (selected)
Research and teaching
KUVAMITT. 1999-2010. An open source digital photogrammetric workstation written in Visual Basic and C/C++. Features: aerial triangulation by means of hybrid bundle block adjustment, anaglyphic stereo, area-based multi-image matching, integrated analyses of LiDAR data and frame- and/or line-camera images, for example LiDAR monoplotting and weighted least square modeling in LiDAR point clouds. Support for 8- or 16-bit raw, epipolar- or orthoimages. Used at several UH and UEF (NOVA) courses and by several researchers.
RESECTION. 2006-2009. Program that performs network adjustment for planimetric positioning (of trees), using redundant interpoint azimuth and distance observations. It has an optional simulator that can be used for teaching. Used at UH courses MARV1 and MARV4/2 and in field measurement campaigns to improve the efficiency of accurate, dm-level tree positiong under canopy.
DTM-FILTER. 2006-2009. An iterative gradient-based DEM creation by filtering of TIN-models generated from LiDAR data, or image-matching (KUVAMITT) point clouds.
AT-MONTECARLO. 2006-. Monte-Carlo simulator for hybrid aerial triangulation (weighted non-linear regression), which allows the study of the effects different observation errors (XYZ-, XY-, and Z control points, XYZ-, XY-, and Z distances, image observations, direct sensor orientation observations) image overlaps and scale, and interior orientation parameters on the accuracy of reconstructed points and exterior orientation parameters.
AT 2000-. Aerial (image) triangulation (block adjustment) using WLS, all XYZ points are weighted, tie points can have Z or XY constraints (with weights), image orientation parameters are all given weights.
Teaching
MARV4. 1999-2000. Interface between forest compartment data in landscape ecological planning and MELA simulator/optimization program. The program formulated the MELA tasks from the ecological classifications and data.
MARV3. 1997-2000. Calculations of basic plot level, static and increment-related stand variables from measurements on permanent forest plots.
MARV1. 1995-1998 (-2009). A selection of routines: Computation of single tree volumes and stem bucking based on polynomial taper curve functions. Calculations of stratified forest inventory results. Calculation of permanent forest plot results. The source code from 1995-96 is still in use on the MARV1 course.
