First we had a short meeting with Matt and he showed us a video. Then I started to plot the various greens throughout the map. Then Emily and I learned how to enhance images, so we began doing that for the writing that we found in Taiwan. We decided to zoom in on the enhanced images and print them out so we could try to make out what was once written there. We cut out what appeared to be images and then taped them onto a larger piece of paper in the correct arrangement. With Dave we traced over our masterpiece on the computer and it did not look like writing but at least we tried. After that we transferred new images to our computer to begin addressing the other questions. Finally, we began to write our abstract!!!!!!

We once again started the day with going over other intern's abstracts, doing about four today. I started with finishing the map of SAM overlay images comparing the three green pigments. Once I finished the green pigment SAMs I began working on the blue pigment SAMs. I pulled a blue pigment from the blue outline on an island off of Western Sumatra. I ran all of the VNIR images with SAM for the blue pigment and then did the interactive stretching to help bring out the similar pigments. I then put all of the images together to make an image of the complete map (minus one section that I cannot find). I added both of the maps to the presentation and now I think we are up to 63 slides.

First we had a meeting to go over the basic structure of the internship and what to expect. Then we went to the barn to do team building games to get to know everybody. In the lab group we learned the basics of the reflection of light and comparison of colors. We learned the basic explanation of wavelengths and vectors plotted based on the color of light. We looked at the software and analysis that we will be doing but will learn more and start processing tomorrow!

First we had a short morning meeting. Then Emily and I learned a new enhancement process called high pass on ENVI. We focused on the circle and writing in Taiwan, trying to make out what is written inside the circle. I saved many of the images to go back through later. Then I took pigment samples from many of the images including greens, blue, red, orange and tan. Then, I made graph comparisons between the pigments of different sections. This will hopefully answer some of the questions from Robert/Bob's email.
