New dataset and task advance continuous canopy height change estimation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced a new dataset and task for estimating continuous canopy height changes, addressing limitations in existing binary change detection methods. The Canopy Height Change (CHC) dataset, covering over 10,000 km² in Spain with 3m resolution, provides continuous height differences and associated uncertainties, paired with PlanetScope satellite imagery. This work also proposes strategies for fine-tuning Geospatial Foundation Models (GFMs) for this task and evaluates current state-of-the-art GFMs, identifying challenges in advancing continuous canopy height estimation.
