Abstract

This chapter explores the use of multimodal deep learning for tree crown detection and carbon stock estimation in forests. The study introduces HAF R-CNN, a model that combines RGB and canopy height model (CHM) data using cross-attention fusion to improve detection accuracy in diverse forest conditions. The research also presents a pipeline for tree-level carbon stock estimation, which integrates structural and spectral features with a Random Forest regressor. Evaluation on benchmark datasets demonstrates the model's superior performance compared to existing methods. The study highlights the potential of remote sensing and machine learning for scalable carbon estimation, particularly in open-canopy forests, while also discussing challenges in dense stands. The findings underscore the importance of accurate tree crown detection and the need for further research in structurally diverse forests.
