New MorphoFormer AI model improves building height and footprint estimation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed MorphoFormer, a novel framework for jointly estimating building height and footprint using remote sensing data. This approach explicitly encodes the relationship between these two parameters, unlike previous methods that treated them independently. The framework utilizes a Swin backbone with Sentinel-1 SAR, Sentinel-2 multispectral, and DEM inputs, achieving a reduction in building height RMSE from 3.39 to 3.15 m. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new method for urban planning and disaster risk modeling by improving building height and footprint estimation.
