Abstract

Multi-temporal analysis of canopy surface heights has high potential for a forest
monitoring system. TanDEM-X interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) heights provide a global data source for a multi-temporal height analysis as two global coverages from the global digital elevation model (DEM) phase 2010-2014 and the Change DEM phase 2017-2020 exist. However, the potential of estimating small scale and subtle changes with TanDEM-X heights is to date
underexplored. The detection of subtle changes was assessed in this study. Penetration depth estimations were applied as a first step in a framework to avoid pseudo-changes based on errors and different acquisition properties. The
results suggest that subtle changes are detectable, but an improved error assessment is necessary in order to provide a detection with high accuracy.
