Uncertainty-aware tree height change regression

Max Gaber, Dimitri Gominski, Jaime C. Revenga, Stefan Oehmcke, Rasmus Fensholt, Martin Brandt

Monitoring canopy height change is essential for understanding carbon sinks and forest dynamics. Remote sensing enables consistent, large-scale observations of such changes, increasingly integrated with deep learning architectures such as Geospatial Foundation Models (GFMs). However, existing methods and datasets frame the problem as binary change detection, which overlooks both the continuous nature of change, especially for vegetation, and the inherent uncertainty in labels. We present the Canopy Height Change (CHC) dataset, providing 3 $\mathrm{m}$ resolution continuous canopy height differences and associated spatially resolved uncertainties across 10598 $\mathrm{km}^2$ of northern and western Spain. The dataset is paired with a co-located time series of PlanetScope satellite imagery. Based on the dataset, we introduce the task of uncertainty-aware change regression, associated metrics and strategies for fine-tuning GFMs. Furthermore, we evaluate state-of-the-art GFMs and highlight promising directions and remaining challenges for advancing continuous canopy height change estimation.

PUF: Plug-and-Play Uncertainty-Aware Fusion for Online 3D Scene Graph Generation

Yi Yang, Myrna Castillo, Bodo Rosenhahn, Michael Ying Yang

Online 3D scene graph generation builds a persistent, structured representation of a scene by incrementally fusing 2D observations into a global 3D graph. Existing online methods treat this fusion as a fully deterministic pipeline, where we identify three sources of uncertainty t…

PlumeQuant: Uncertainty-aware consistency assessment of methane plume masks and emission-rate estimates

Parisa Masnadi Khiabani, Wolfgang Jentner, Alireza Rangrazjeddi, Michael C. Wimberly, Binbin Weng, David Ebert, et al.

Imaging spectrometers increasingly distribute source-resolved methane plume products in which the plume mask, integrated mass enhancement (IME), plume length, emission rate, and uncertainty are physically and algorithmically linked. Using 63 EMIT-derived Carbon Mapper plume recor…
