July 31st, 2017: Day 18

Today was Joe's only day at work this week, Matt is taking over the morning meetings starting tomorrow. We talked about the outlines and Joe asked us to look over everyone's to get an idea of what theirs is so we don't try to critique it the first time we look at it. I went to the PhD Dissertation Defense at 10 today. The topic was the evolution of massive black hole binaries in rotating stellar nuclei and it implications for gravitational wave detection. Good thing there was a paper in the reading room stating the exact topic or else I definitely would not have remembered much more than "massive black hole" and "gravitational wave detection". The defense was interesting but really confusing and not to mention complex. I can't say that I understood much of it but I did enjoy it and I'm glad I went. I've been making image cubes for Roger all day. I also got a few PCI results and a few Overlay results that I'll add in later. I forgot to mention that Dave is back! I almost forgot what his striped country club shirts looked like. Since Paige isn't here until Wednesday I haven't decided what I'm doing for the remaining two weeks. I need to consult with her but I guess I'll have to wait two days. Today hasn't been excessively exciting but that's not a bad thing. I am officially done helping out Aditi and Titus. The experiment I did today saved and we are good to go. They still won't tell me why I did this, which bothers me, but it's not a big deal. I have a file floating in the corner of my screen, even when I exit Envi and my files...It finally went away but it was there for a little while. I made 10 image cubes today, I feel like that's a lot to make. It took me almost eight hours, so yeah it's alot.

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.
