dc.description.abstractRip current are fast moving and narrow currents that are strongest near the beach. They are dangerous not only for novice but also experienced swimmers. Once caught in the current, the flow of the water pulls the person away from the beach. Many people in panic try to swim against the current and end up drowning due to exhaustion since these currents are usually faster than the speed at which one can swim. They have led to the drowning deaths of more than 100 beachgoers each year in United States alone [USL16]. For a knowledgeable person, these rip-currents are fairly easy to spot. But they are a threat to most people who are unaware of rip-currents or who do not know how to identify them. In this paper, we discuss a novel approach that uses optical flow to detect rip currents and then visualize them in an intuitive manner.en_US
