The morning meeting was short, we were missing a lot of people. Emily and I explained the Archimedes codex. We decided to focus on the outline and getting that done. We spent a lot of time researching the Ambrosiana Library and then the Jubilees Palimpsest. We had to figure out what they actually are and the different texts that make up the palimpsest. We are starting to think about our final presentation, we have half of it pretty much done from the presentation that we had to make for Dave. I feel like we have a good grasp on our topics.

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.
