GLAFT 0.2.0
This is the first public release of GLAFT, the GLAcier Feature Tracking testkit.
GLAFT is based on the scientific Python ecosystem and focuses on calculating the metrics and benchmarking glacier velocity products derived using the feature tracking technique. To be compatible with most feature tracking tools, GLAFT aims to process only the most common and essential products, which are the velocity maps (and optional input of reliability file used as weight). GLAFT also provides visualization tools for the derived metrics, making scientific communication much easier.
GLAFT is an open-source project with all source code hosted on Github (https://github.com/whyjz/GLAFT). Users can find relevant documentation and cloud-executable demos in the same repository and on its Jupyter Book-based Github pages (https://whyjz.github.io/GLAFT/).
Version 0.2.0 is used in the submitted manuscript "GLAcier Feature Tracking testkit (GLAFT): A statistically- and physically-based framework for evaluating glacier velocity products derived from satellite image feature tracking."
