Short summary
Imagery from air and space is the primary source of large-scale forest mapping. Our study introduces a new dataset with over 50000 image patches prepared for deep learning tasks. We show how the information for 20 European tree species can be extracted from different remote sensing sensors. Our algorithms can detect single species with precision scores up to 88 %. With a pixel size of 20×20 cm, forestry administration can now derive large-scale tree species maps at a very high resolution.
