Two separate types of flights were made in Finland to determine how the position of the aerial camera is determined by the GPS system. The first test flight was conducted for a small block under adverse weather conditions, with the results indicating a high potential for GPS in modifying
the block through the “Bundle Block Adjustment” analytical method. The second flight was a fully functional and justified flight that was performed on an average-level flight block, which, despite the usual issues confronted in this block, the results were very satisfying. Air triangulation carried out by satellite data was very good and satisfactory for preparing maps of 1: 5000 and smaller scale by GPS kinematic method in Finland. On the other hand, the number of control points that can be considered for it is considerably reduced, and this leads us to save money and time compared to the usual classical approach.
