Tracking icebergs with time-lapse photography and sparse optical flow, LeConte Bay, Alaska, 2016–2017 [PDF]
We present a workflow to track icebergs in proglacial fjords using oblique time-lapse photos and the Lucas-Kanade optical flow algorithm. We employ the workflow at LeConte Bay, Alaska, where we ran five time-lapse cameras between April 2016 and ...
