Kelsey Kaplan
Hello, I recently graduated with a M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Delaware.
Research
For the last two years, I worked as a Research Assistant at VIMS Lab. My focus was on the development of novel algorithms for the fine-scale motion analysis of Arctic sea ice from remote sensing data, using a traditional Computer Vision approach.
My research interests and expertise include Computer Vision, sea ice analysis and remote sensing.
Projects
Oct 2020 - Dec 2022: SIDEx (Sea Ice Dynamics Experiment). Field support during the expedition (daily, real-time collection and analysis of satellite imagery acquired over the expedition site) and development of algorithms for fine-scale drift and deformation characterization of Arctic sea ice. See some of my results here.
Oct 2019 - Nov 2019: SCALE (Southern Ocean Seasonal Experiment). Six week expedition to Antartica aboard the S.A. Agulhas II as part of the Sea Ice Team. I developed, deployed and monitored a ship-based stereo camera system for acquiring calibrated sea ice images. See more on the expedition here and on my work here.
