In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of using TanDEM-X (TX) interferometric coherence data for mapping forest height with 25-m pixels across a study area near Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada. Our simplified RVOG model locally estimates forest height by combining an optimiz...
