Automatic calving front delienation on TerraSAR-X and Sentinel-1 SAR imagery

This paper presents an approach for automatic calving front delineation of marine-terminating outlet glaciers. We utilize a Canny edge detection approach together with a shortest path optimization problem to find calving front locations (CFL) on SAR backscattering images from Sentinel-1 and TerraSAR...
