Cover Story: High-resolution orthorectified imagery acquired by aerial or satellite sensors is well known to be a rich source of information that enables building detection, urban monitoring, and planning, among others. One can also extract roof geometry and height that is essential for the creation of digital twins and the placement of solar panels. In this work, we extract building heights in a fully automated mode from a single airborne or satellite optical image without relying on any further imagery, point clouds, or GIS records data. To this end, we propose a convolutional neural network architecture called IM2ELEVATION that produces an estimated digital surface model (DSM) image as output. Our model achieves state-of-the-art performance and we show that the quality of the training dataset is key to the successful estimation of DSM. View this paper
