Better Coherence, Better Height: Fusing Physical Models and Deep Learning for Forest Height Estimation from Interferometric SAR Data
Estimating forest height from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images often relies on traditional physical models, which, while interpretable and data-efficient, can struggle with generalization. In contrast, Deep Learning (DL) approaches lack physical insight. To address this, we propose CoHNet - an end-to-end framework that combines the best of both worlds: DL optimized with physics-informed constraints. We leverage a pre-trained neural surrogate model to enforce physical plausibility through a unique training loss. Our experiments show that this approach not only improves forest height estimation accuracy but also produces meaningful features that enhance the reliability of predictions.
