Abstract

TerraShift is a GUI-based toolkit for terrain displacement analysis using image correlation techniques. It provides workflows for processing UAV-derived orthophotos to measure surface velocities of rock glaciers, landslides, and other geomorphological features. Features: Image resampling and grid alignment Automated image correlation via geoCosiCorr3D (Docker) Post-processing with velocity and direction calculations GPS and GCP validation workflows Level of Detection (LoD) assessment Developed as part of a Master's thesis in Geospatial Technologies at Graz University of Technology, Austria. Based on geoCosiCorr3D by SaifAati (https://github.com/SaifAati/Geospatial-COSICorr3D)
