Deep-learning-based canopy height model generation from sub-meter resolution panchromatic satellite imagery by Charles J Abolt, Javier E Santos, Adam L Atchley, Lucas Wells, Daithi Martin, Russell A Parsons, Rodman R Linn

“…We show that phenology and species composition play important roles in model transferability; when trained using imagery from a single conifer forest in autumn, the model performs well on autumn imagery from a second conifer forest several hundred kilometers distant with no re-training. With modest additions to the training dataset, the same model generates minimally biased estimates of canopy height in both conifer and deciduous forests during multiple seasons. …”
