Week 8: Nothing to See Here, Please Disperse

March 31, 2016


Hello! I am sorry to report that absolutely no progress has been made this past week. Fortunately, I am 95% confident that this will be the last lacking week, because my advisor will return soon and everything will pick back up! Fingers crossed for lots of progress.

    1. While I may have understood more than the lay person reading this article, there was a lot that I didn't understand. For example, "cut" angles and the like went straight over my head. The algorithm that I'm working with at the USGS is similar to the one discussed in the article in that it is scale-invariant. However I don't know whether or not our algorithm is a shape-based matcher like the one used in the study.

      Due to the nature and simplicity of the tasks I'm doing, I don't really understand the majority of the data and statistics they used, because in my project that's not what I deal with. I deal more with obtaining the data rather than analyzing it.
