Tool IMCORR - Feature Tracking

The tool performs an image correlation based on two raster data sets. Additionally, two DTMs can be given and used to optain 3D displacement vectors.
This is a SAGA implementation of the standalone IMCORR software provided by the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado / US.
