报告简介

As glaciers are severely affected by climate change, it is crucial to monitor their morphological evolution by detection of ice-mass variations. Historical aerial images may provide valuable information to this purpose combined with up-to-date photogrammetric techniques, such as Structure-from-Motion (SfM) and Multi-View-Stereo (MVS) dense matching. Point clouds of reconstructed 3D surface of glaciers may be used to detect thickness change and height differences over time. This task can be accomplished by applying suitable techniques for computing distances between each pair of point clouds. Here a case study consisting of a group of Alpine glaciers in the Mount Blanc massif in the Italian Alps was selected. Seven data sets of digitized analogue aerial images provided by National Geographic and Forestry Institute of France (IGNF) have been selected, downloaded, and used for photogrammetric processing. These data sets cover a time span of approximately 40 years from 1967 to 2006. While the change in ice thickness of these glaciers was relatively small until the mid-1990s, this study revealed an increasing reduction rate at the beginning of 21st century. Prof. Scaioni will describe the adopted methodological approach for photogrammetric reconstruction, quality assessment and point cloud comparison in the lecture.
