However, comprehensive tree cover mapping requires reliable and high-quality imagery, free of cloud and weather defects to ensure accurate model outputs. Deep learning approaches can generate high quality maps with minimal human intervention but require large amounts of human annotated data to be successful. In this work we propose a framework consisting of methods that aim to improve the data efficiency and robustness of deep learning models using data fusion techniques to segment woody vegetation defined as vegetation over the height of 2m across the state of New South Wales, Australia. To improve robustness against varying image quality, we propose an image composition method that normalizes the imagery and removes defects, whilst also minimizing the reliance on individual image quality by proposing a prediction fusion method. The two methods resulted in an error reduction of 38.2% and 53.6% respectively compared to single-source imagery. To address deep learning approaches' limitation of requiring large amounts of data, we apply label transfer to multiple sources of imagery as a form of data augmentation to improve data efficiency. Learning from multiple image sources was shown to be the biggest improvement in performance, resulting in an error reduction between 28.1% to 76.2% across the different validation experiments, whilst reducing the standard deviation of performance across image dates by a factor of 13.
