Accurate building height information at the individual footprint scale is essential for material stock accounting and post-disaster damage assessments yet remains difficult to obtain at city scale in the Global South where airborne LiDAR coverage is rare and commercial very high-resolution imagery is cost-prohibitive or unavailable. While recent works have demonstrated building height estimation using freely available Sentinel imagery, the resolution ceiling of resulting products is still coarse for material stock analysis.
