Fog-Bank: Archiving the oldest webcam feed

A team of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Edinburgh have successfully archived the oldest webcam feed, which has been continuously broadcasting since November 2001. The feed, known as Fog-Bank, captures the view from a camera installed at the University of Michigan's North Face of the South Face of the South Face of the South Dome of the Matterhorn Mountain in the Swiss Alps. The researchers used a combination of techniques, including data compression, image processing, and storage solutions, to store and index over 18 years of continuous video data. The archived data includes 6.5 million frames, which can be accessed and browsed online.
