New article that tackles the challenges of estimating canopy height from spectral and textural information from Planet Dove images is now published in Remote Sensing (click to access):

Csillik, O.; Kumar, P.; Asner, G.P. Challenges in Estimating Tropical Forest Canopy Height from Planet Dove Imagery. Remote Sens. 2020, 12, 1160.

This work can be a helpful advancement towards better monitoring of tropical forests, improving the efforts in reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. We developed a software toolchain that takes advantage of the high temporal and spatial resolution of Planet Dove images and derive and modify features derived from FOTO textures. A gradient boosting regression is then applied for the entire Peru, leading to an RMSE of 4.36 m in nationwide estimation of canopy height. Check the open-access article for more details!
