Canopy height for French Guiana

A canopy height for French Guiana obtained using the data fusion of LiDAR, optical and other environmental datasets (spatial resolution = 250 m x 250 m). The precision of the map by comparison to a high precision airborne LiDAR canopy height estimates was evaluated at around 3 m (mean canopy height of 30 m).
