Deep learning outperforms existing algorithms in glacier surface velocity estimation with high-resolution data – the example of Austerdalsbreen, Norway by Harald Zandler, Jakob Abermann, Benjamin A. Robson, Alexander Maschler, Thomas Scheiber, Jonathan L. Carrivick, Jacob C. Yde

“…Cross-correlation with geoCosiCorr3D resulted in comparably high errors with the UAV dataset (RMSE = 36.22 m/yr, R2 = 0.24), whereas ORB-based feature tacking showed lowest performance with all sensors. Spatial patterns of computed velocities indicate that applying existing cross-correlation methods for areas with regular displacements or low glacier velocities yields suitable results on UAV data, but innovative deep learning-based approaches are required for resolving rapid changes in velocities or in surface properties. …”
