SERA-H: Beyond Native Sentinel Spatial Limits for High-Resolution Canopy Height Mapping
Thomas Boudras, Martin Schwartz, Rasmus Fensholt +6
High-resolution mapping of canopy height is essential for forest management and biodiversity monitoring. Although recent studies have led to the advent of deep learning methods usi…
ECHOSAT: Estimating Canopy Height Over Space And Time
Jan Pauls, Karsten Schrödter, Sven Ligensa +7
Forest monitoring is critical for climate change mitigation. However, existing global tree height maps provide only static snapshots and do not capture temporal forest dynamics, wh…
Estimating Canopy Height at Scale
Jan Pauls, Max Zimmer, Una M. Kelly +6
We propose a framework for global-scale canopy height estimation based on satellite data. Our model leverages advanced data preprocessing techniques, resorts to a novel loss functi…
FORMSpoT: A Decade of Tree-Level, Country-Scale Forest Monitoring
Martin Schwartz, Fajwel Fogel, Nikola Besic +9
The recent decline of the European forest carbon sink highlights the need for spatially explicit and frequently updated forest monitoring tools. Yet, existing satellite-based distu…
DUNIA: Pixel-Sized Embeddings via Cross-Modal Alignment for Earth Observation Applications
Ibrahim Fayad, Max Zimmer, Martin Schwartz +6
Significant efforts have been directed towards adapting self-supervised multimodal learning for Earth observation applications. However, most current methods produce coarse patch-s…
Open-Canopy: Towards Very High Resolution Forest Monitoring
Fajwel Fogel, Yohann Perron, Nikola Besic +8
Estimating canopy height and its changes at meter resolution from satellite imagery is a significant challenge in computer vision with critical environmental applications. However,…
