Abstract
En 中文
Building height is a key indicator of vertical urbanization and urban morphological complexity, yet accurately mapping building height at fine spatial resolution and large spatial scales remains challenging. This study proposes an attention-based deep learning framework (ABHNet) for building height estimation at a 10 m spatial resolution by integrating multi-source remote sensing data and socioeconomic information. The model jointly exploits Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar data, Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery, and point of interest (POI) data. The proposed framework is evaluated in Shanghai, a megacity with dense and vertically complex urban structures, using Baidu Maps-derived building height data as reference information. The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves accurate building height estimation, with a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 3.81 m and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.96 m for 2023, and an RMSE of 3.30 m and an MAE of 0.78 m for 2019, indicating robust performance across different time periods. Also, this model is applied in two other cities (Changzhou and Guiyang) and the results indicate good performance. In addition, the expandability of the framework is examined by incorporating higher-resolution ZY-3 imagery, for which the spatial resolution was increased to 2.5 m, highlighting the potential extension of the model to heterogeneous data sources. Overall, this study demonstrates the effectiveness of attention-based deep learning and multimodal data fusion for large-scale and fine-resolution building height estimation using open-source data.
