Day 9-Catch up

Had meeting with the Remote Sensing expert from Oceanography and my advisor. We talked over what I had learned so far in the quarter and got some interesting new ideas about how to proceed.

The most interesting, and possibly viable, one was the use of Spectral Unmixing. This means taking the value of a pixel and then divide it up by its components since no pixel is really homogeneous, especially at a 30m resolution. I think this will work, if I can learn to do it.

I'm reading some articles on it right now. Lots of them deal with fire, which was where I had originally learned about it, but there are studies using this technique for almost any subject that uses Remote Sensing. I need to read a bit more to understand the particulars but if I can learn to use the program, and not calculate anything myself, I think this would be very useful.
