At the morning meeting we watched another short video with Matt. Then Emily and I began to look at the new data in VNIR1 and VNIR5. First I focused on West Banda. I used SAM to compare the blue pigments that I had plotted on the graphs to maybe see if there was actually a correction made. Then I collected several PCA images to try and identify the writing inside the port. When we got as clear of a picture as we could of the writing in the Banda port, Emily and I conducted an intense search of the Chinese language to identify the symbols. But that didn't turn up anything that helpful so we began organizing all of the data that we have collected this far that could be helpful to Robert/Bob. Then we moved on to analyzing the pigments in the lower corners of the map.

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.
