About us

Turning your data into valuable information
Having large amounts of data is only a small part of the problem

Laser scanning enables improved performance and better cost-efficiency in a vast variety of applications. We have 20 years of experience in applying LiDAR technology in the field of forestry, and our combined experience is over 80 years. Other applications, such as environmental studies, engineering, urban planning and 3D city modelling are also familiar to us.

Solid Potato Oy is a Centre of Excellence in Laser Scanning Research-borne spin-off. It has highest quality knowledge in laser scanning, mobile mapping, remote sensing, UAV laser scanning, photogrammetry, geodesy, geomatics, 3D modelling of objects and precision forestry. In the past, we have participated in more than 50 international projects, out of which we have coordinated more than 10. The founders have also made 10 unofficial world records in the field of laser scanning, mobile mapping and forest informatics.

  • Personal, terrestrial, mobile, UAV or airborne

  • Terrestrial, airborne or satellite

  • Hyperspectral, thermal, GIS and many more

  • Understanding the data
