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

“…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. This novel method benefits from improved keypoint detection and matching through training using neural networks and data characterized by challenging geometries, outlier minimization and more robust descriptors by applying cross-attention layers. …”

Crosscorrelation of Earthquake Data Using Stationary Phase Evaluation: Insight into Reflection Structures of Oceanic Crust Surface in the Nankai Trough by Shohei Minato, Takeshi Tsuji, Toshifumi Matsuoka, Koichiro Obana

“…We perform experimental study to apply SI to Ocean Bottom Seismogram (OBS) records in the Nankai Trough, southwest Japan in order to reveal the relatively shallow geological boundaries including surface of oceanic crust. Although the local earthquakes with short raypath we use to retrieve reflection response are expected to contain the higher-frequency components to detect fine-scale structures by SI, they cannot be assumed as plane waves and are inhomogeneously distributed. …”
