New dataset and task advance continuous canopy height change estimation

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.

    Uncertainty-aware tree height change regression

    Monitoring canopy height change is essential for understanding carbon sinks and forest dynamics. Remote sensing enables consistent, large-scale observations of such changes, increasingly integrated with deep learning architectures such as Geospatial Foundation Models (GFMs). Howe…
