July 26th, 2017: Day 15

  Today's morning meeting was exciting, truly exhilarating. I have so much to report. Anjana told the group about what she is doing in her lab and why she requires charcoal. Nate told us a little bit about what he's doing in the kLab. He said he'll bring in his laptop on Friday to show the group some of his code and images. Paige and I were asked what The Jubilee's Palimpsest is, our latest project but we never received a concrete answer on that so we'll ask around. After the staff meeting, we went to help Titus and Aditi gather more information for their project. We went to the athletic complex and the ice rink with Peter and Ashley while tracking each others eye movement. The only thing I know about the experiment is that we were going to unfamiliar places. Pretty riveting stuff, I'd have to say.
  Today I mainly made image cubes and got a few results that I'll post later. My computer has been acting up lately and it's getting really frustrating. It's been freezing or loading results too slowly so it takes me a long time to get things done. After lunch Titus came and told me that he needed me to redo some of the testing I did last Friday. I was pushed around the building in a chair, then a cart, about 6 or 7 times. I walked a few of them as well but the pushing was much more fun. None of the data was saved so I'm being summoned another day to redo everything again. I just want it to be over so Titus and Aditi can finally tell me why I'm being asked to do this, if they told me before the data was collected then I would be biased and the results would become invalid. I really want to know.
For the rest of the day I've been awaiting Roger to ask him some questions. I've been struggling a little bit but it's getting somewhat better. Tomorrow is the field trip so I won't improve my skills by much but Friday I'll be back at it. I think this is my longest blog post.. Possibly because I decided to divide it into paragraphs today or simply because I'm adding filler words such as "decided to" or "simply".

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.
