Stereo satellite images can be used to predict boreal forest fuel parameters for remote areas that lack ALS or aerial image data. Our models reached RMSEs between 11% and 30% depending on parameter, when predicting with only stereo image features without an external DTM. doi.org/10.1080/0143...
Prediction and mapping of boreal forest fire fuel loads using high-resolution satellite stereo imagery
The aim of this study is to evaluate the suitability of very high-resolution satellite stereo-imagery data for creating forest fire-related fuel load maps in the boreal region. We acquired stereo i...
