Today I went to a 2 master's defenses. They were very interesting yet long. When I got back the RIT repair guys were moving the electrical strip. Nina finished my data for the 19 for my presentation. I then worked on my presentation.

Today I worked on getting roi's of Landsat night scenes, and of the GT and buoy points of interest. I also learned how to change permissions on UNIX machines. Today I recommended to Bob Callens that we go on a field trip to Geospatial Systems Incorporated here on John St.

Today when I came in we determined that it was to hazy to go outside so I worked on getting buoy data for the day before. I then went over my presentation with Nina and worked on getting her data for my cardeck.

Today when I came in Smita and I debated on going out on a collect today. We determined that it was to hazy to go out on a collect so I worked on the presentation. I read some of Julia's thesis on Landsat calibration. I created a full outline for my presentaion also.

Today Smita, michelle, and I went to the bay to practice taking measurement by ourselves so that when Nina leaves we can do it. We ate lunch up there, then came bak around 2:00. When I got back I put in more time on the powerpoint presentation.

Today I continued to work on my presentation. I had to leave early to go to my Senior pictures so I did not get much done. When I came back it was time for volleyball. When we began playing volleyball the RIT formula car was being raced in the parking lot and I went and watched. I found out that anyone can join the team no matter what major. I would like to join the team when I come to RIT.

Today I worked on getting a rough draft of my presentation done before Nina leaves for vacation. I went and get lots of info on Landsat history, and specs. I went on the Unix machines and started working on the days that I would present. I learning more about Landsat now than I did when I was learning How to get the info because I was only seeing part of the big picture before.

Today When I came in I worked on the Unix machines with ENVI. I created roi files for all the buoy data and ground truth data. It was tedious but it needed done. I also worked with Smita in ENVI. After that I read some info on Remote Sensing and Landsat. As I learn about Remote Sensing I'm realizing that it is vital the nation in more than just military applications. Learning all of the Remote Sensing info is making me exited for being a future Imaging Scientist.

Today I worked on transferring all the files over to the Unix machines. I also created more structures for the data. Nina and I did some trouble shooting with ENVI because the vectors would not be displayed two at a time. I finding that ENVI is a very powerful program but it allows for so much customization that it takes for ever to learn.

Today we went to Cooper Vision and saw the production facilities. They make costom contact lenses. It was Interesting to see the production from start to finish. After that we went to Tom Whal's and ate lunch. When we got back I went to the lunch seminars. When I got back to work I worked with ArcVeiw and some buoy data. After that we Veiwed the buoys in ENVI.

July 26, 2005

Today I worked with ArcView converting buoy files to shapefiles because they need to be in that form to overlay into ENVI. I also veiwed all the new landsat images with the buoy vectors to take notes on them.

July 25, 2005

Today the weather site was up so created all the weather files. After they were created I prepared them for modtran. After that I structured some files on the Unix systems which runs modtran.
