This page stores links to some teaching material I have made over the years at UH and HUT. I realized the potential of the Web in 1996 when I was introduced to it by Mikko Utunen. Having the material openly in the web is beneficial in many ways. For example, the taxpayers know what their money is used, you see how things evolve and change over the years - it serves as a portfolio. I find it fantastic to be able to download stuff from the Web and feel therefore obliged to do my part.

Pedagogic philosophy: I give priority to the contents of teaching, which optimally links with topical research. Common sense, feedback, transparency of teaching and self-criticism help in avoiding pedagogic disasters.

2010 MARV1 2010.

       Skogsbruk runt om Östersjön. (pdf).

        Evo/HAMK: a day of lectures, demos and exercises in sensor fusion.
        Students were senior forest inventory and management experts and teachers.
        Sample image and LiDAR data from Evo was used in the demos.
        Another day of lectures and demos in October, where I'm re-using the 2009 NOVA PhD-course material.

        UEF: Advanced remote sensing (homepage). Lectures 4h + remote labs in Photogrammetry.

2009 MARV1 Growth & yield plots - Measurement campaign: Photogrammetry + Field Work. 3rd succesfull attempt to use student
        labour for collecting research material. We got reasonable feedback. The students measured and mapped some 3000 trees.
        A positioned and measured tree costs around 2-4€, depending on the number of measurements taken.
.
        UJ: Nova post-gradate course in 3D RS of forests by Packalen et al.: NOVA 3D Course. I wrote a separate version of the KUVAMITT-program
              to be a bit more educative. A sample dataset of frame and pushbroom sensor images + LiDAR was made available including 8/16-bit images.
              The students could load the 5GB package. Let's see where it leads. Another overkill, but I hope to get a chance to utilise the exercises agn.

        HU: Skugsbruk runt om Östersjön -kurs: PPT redovisning om laserkanning och fotogrammetri i 3D skoglig kartläggning. Quite
               interesting trial in doing teaching in Swedish. Feasible but utterly laborious with all the missing vocabulary.

2008 MARV1 Teaching LiDAR and photogrammetry in the field. Again students mapped and measured nearly 2500 trees for reference
        and learned basics of forest mensuration and a little bit about surveying, LIDAR and photogrammetry applied to forestry.

2007 MARV1 Teaching LiDAR and photogrammetry in the field. Students measured 19 research plots for research. Terrible rainy wx
                     the whole duration of the course, but a lot of SISU by many saved the course. With Prof. Holopainen.

MARV4 Forest inventory project with Prof. Holopainen. An attempt to combine research with teaching.
                    Professor Poso made the first in 1990s. Here's our peer-reviewed paper: in STRS (ISPRS pdf).

2006 MINV12 Post-graduate course in 3D remote sensing of forests. First PhD-course by me, which was a bit of an overkill from my part. The good part
        with course was that it forced me to learn about LIDAR as I was responsible of those exercises. The course focused
        too much on STRS in images, but you teach what you know best....

OLDER: The old material on the www.mm.helsinki.fi (honeybee.helsinki.fi) was removed by the WEB-administration, most links don't work. I'll someday try to move some of the relevant material that might really be of interest to the www.helsinki.fi -server. Maybe the web isn't the right place to archive old lectures etc.
