August 3rd, 2017: Day 21

During the morning meeting we went over a few more abstracts and Matt asked some trick questions about them. We briefly talked about the symposium tomorrow but unfortunately, I can't go. Paige and I are getting through the data Roger gave us and we have decent results for them. They're almost presentation worthy. I've been working on the Ambrosiana/Jubilees section, mostly the introductory slides until we decide what we want to put in. We're waiting for a response from Todd Hanneken, the guy who gave us the project, to tell us the significance of the palimpsest and if there is any particular reason he wants us to work on it. I got a short answer from Roger and it was "because Todd wanted you to" but I know that there is more behind it. Paige has some really good results and I think that our presentation will be mostly about the Selden Map, there's a lot more information about it and we were asked to do less with the Jubilees. Matt came in and we had a solid conversation about town population and that general topic with David Lewis. There were other topics but none of them significant. We finally finished looking at all of the images and scanning everything so westarted gathering images to put in the presentation. I am truly thrilled to start tomorrow.

Outline

Intro Background: We are working to uncover illegible text from the "Jubilees Palimpsest" and find corrections and later additions on the Selden Map of China     Purpose/Technique: We use hyper-spectral imaging (several narrow spectral hundred bands) and multi-spectral imagining (fewer than 50 bands) The images are digitally processed and combined to create images with more characters that are legible than those in the regular RGB image Processing tools include Principle Components Analysis (PCA), Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM), Spectral Profiles   Selden Map Background: The Selden Map dates back to the early 17th Century during the Ming Dynasty The map includes approximately 15 countries and shows a system of navigational routes China, Borneo, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are five countries with the most significant results Focus/Results: Green corrections in Borneo, Korea, Taiwan, and Rivers of North China Missing texts and names of ports in B...

August 4th, 2017: Day 22

I'm sorry about the late blog post but I've been quite busy today. The group read mine and Paige's outline during the morning meeting. She keeps telling me I don't contribute and that I'm useless but insists that I explain the outline and answer questions so I'd like an explanation about that, Paige. This morning we worked on our presentation mostly. We put together slides and got images ready. My best friend was on campus today for a college and major exposition or whatever the program is so we got lunch and I told her all about the internship and the wonderful people I've met. I got very into detail about the Lunch Bunch, I was very excited to tell her all about them. I also told her about my project and Paige, Dave, and Roger. After she left I went back inside and worked a little more on the presentation. We don't have as much data for the palimpsest as we did for the Selden Map so that section is going to be much shorter, or at least it is for now. I...

August 7th, 2017: Day 23

We actually finished all 12 outlines today!! It was thrilling. Paige and I have been cutting our 65 page presentation down to, what is now a 32 page one. Dave and David Lewis still think we need to cut it down and I'm upset about it. 15 minutes isn't enough time to explain everything we've done these past few weeks and it's sad that all of our work isn't going to be displayed. There isn't a whole lot to be said about today, other than we worked on our presentation. Tomorrow we're giving a practice presentation tomorrow with Dave and Roger. That will probably be most of my blog tomorrow.
