In this page a list of open data sources and tools suitable for geospatial and photogrammetric applications will be gradually compiled
National Land Survey of Finland (Maanmittauslaitos): The National Land Survey provides access to a range of geospatial data, including topographic maps, aerial imagery, and 3D data products. Their open data portal can be found here.
Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI): The FGI offers various datasets related to geospatial research, including aerial imagery and terrain models. You can explore their available data through their Open Data portal.
OpenStreetMap (OSM) Finland: The OpenStreetMap Finland project provides freely accessible geographic data, which can be valuable for photogrammetric applications. Users can download map data for use in their projects.
Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE): The SYKE offers a range of environmental data, including land use and land cover datasets, which can be useful for photogrammetry and geographic analysis. Their data can be accessed here.
National Digital Library of Finland: The National Digital Library offers various historical maps, photographs, and documents, some of which may be relevant for photogrammetry projects. Access their collections here.
Helsinki Region Infoshare: Helsinki Region Infoshare provides access to a wide array of open data related to the Helsinki region, including urban planning and geographic datasets, which can be valuable for photogrammetric analysis.
Finnish Open Data Portal: The Finnish Open Data Portal serves as a centralized platform for various datasets from Finnish public organizations, including geographical and environmental data that can be beneficial for photogrammetry.
OpenTopography: OpenTopography provides access to high-resolution topographic data collected from various sources, including LiDAR and photogrammetry. The platform offers tools for data visualization and analysis.
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS): The USGS Earth Explorer provides access to a wide range of satellite imagery, aerial photography, and elevation data, which can be utilized for photogrammetric applications.
NASA Earthdata: NASA Earthdata offers access to a vast array of earth science data, including satellite imagery and remote sensing data that can be valuable for photogrammetric analysis.
European Space Agency (ESA) Copernicus Open Access Hub: The Copernicus Open Access Hub provides free access to Sentinel satellite data, which can be used for various photogrammetric and remote sensing applications.
OpenStreetMap (OSM): OpenStreetMap is a collaborative mapping project that provides free geographic data and mapping to anyone who wants to use it. The data can be integrated with photogrammetric projects for enhanced geographic context.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Data Access: The NOAA Digital Coast offers coastal data, including imagery and elevation datasets that are useful for photogrammetry and geographic analysis.
CityGML Open Data: Various municipalities provide open data in CityGML format, which can be used for 3D modeling and analysis. For instance, check out the City of Amsterdam Open Data or similar city data portals.
Open Heritage3d: Open Heritage 3D is an innovative initiative aimed at preserving and promoting cultural heritage through the power of 3D modeling and open data sharing.

- Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
- Topograhic Database
- CORINE land cover 2018 raster.
- Vector files of the latest subcatchment divisions, ranging from level 1 to 5.
- Individual or merged subcatchments by identifier number from the vector files.
- Clipped DEM raster files by subcatchment identifiers.
- Feature geometries based on class number and subcatchment identifiers.
The Zurich Urban Micro Aerial Vehicle Dataset: Images of a GoPro camera installed on a UAV flying at low altitudes (5-15 meters above the ground). This dataset could be used to test a monicular SLAM approach.
ISPRS UseGeo Datasets: UAV Datasets for assessment of 3D reconstruction algorithms. Link to github page.
There are 3 datasets of ~800 images.Images are 40 MPix, with GSD of <2cm. Exterinsic parameters are also given.Corresponding LiDAR point clouds are provided which could be used to assess the quality of image-based point clouds.
