Chinese Gaofen-7 satellite enhances precision in forest height measurement

Scientists have developed a method to measure forest heights using advanced satellite technology, significantly reducing the need for labor-intensive fieldwork. A study published on July 29 in the Journal of Remote Sensing by a team of international researchers leverages high-resolution satellite imagery from China's Gaofen-7 (GF-7) satellite and historical images from Google Earth to achieve highly precise forest height measurements.
