The Belvedere Glacier motion during 2 months in summer 2021 (29/07/2021 – 29/09/2021), captured by daily images from our time-laps camera

Belvedere Glacier retreat during 20 days (11.08-03.09), represented by the stereo-point clouds seen from above. Colors represent the depth with respect to Camera 2 (Z coordinate in the local crs). The point cloud computed at the first epoch is overlayed with a transparency also in the following ones (please, see it fullscreen).
