Satellite-based high-resolution maps of cocoa planted area for Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana
Nikolai Kalischek, Nico Lang, Cécile Renier +7
Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana, the world's largest producers of cocoa, account for two thirds of the global cocoa production. In both countries, cocoa is the primary perennial crop, prov…
A high-resolution canopy height model of the Earth
Nico Lang, Walter Jetz, Konrad Schindler +1
The worldwide variation in vegetation height is fundamental to the global carbon cycle and central to the functioning of ecosystems and their biodiversity. Geospatially explicit an…
Country-wide Retrieval of Forest Structure From Optical and SAR Satellite Imagery With Deep Ensembles
Alexander Becker, Stefania Russo, Stefano Puliti +3
Monitoring and managing Earth's forests in an informed manner is an important requirement for addressing challenges like biodiversity loss and climate change. While traditional in…
High carbon stock mapping at large scale with optical satellite imagery and spaceborne LIDAR
Nico Lang, Konrad Schindler, Jan Dirk Wegner
The increasing demand for commodities is leading to changes in land use worldwide. In the tropics, deforestation, which causes high carbon emissions and threatens biodiversity, is…
Global canopy height regression and uncertainty estimation from GEDI LIDAR waveforms with deep ensembles
Nico Lang, Nikolai Kalischek, John Armston +3
NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is a key climate mission whose goal is to advance our understanding of the role of forests in the global carbon cycle. While G…
Geocoding of trees from street addresses and street-level images
Daniel Laumer, Nico Lang, Natalie van Doorn +3
We introduce an approach for updating older tree inventories with geographic coordinates using street-level panorama images and a global optimization framework for tree instance ma…
From Google Maps to a Fine-Grained Catalog of Street trees
Steve Branson, Jan Dirk Wegner, David Hall +3
Up-to-date catalogs of the urban tree population are important for municipalities to monitor and improve quality of life in cities. Despite much research on automation of tree mapp…
Country-wide high-resolution vegetation height mapping with Sentinel-2
Nico Lang, Konrad Schindler, Jan Dirk Wegner
Sentinel-2 multi-spectral images collected over periods of several months were used to estimate vegetation height for Gabon and Switzerland. A deep convolutional neural network (CN…
