Short summary
We present an algorithm for continuous ice drift estimation based on coastal and ship radar data. The ice dynamics are estimated based on automatically selected ice targets (virtual buoys, VBs) and an optical flow algorithm. VBs are added when necessary. We show some examples of the tracking and quantities derived from the VB motion.
