Day 9

Day 9!

Today Hudson and I worked more on our code. Our progress is getting better as we become more familiar with what exactly we are trying to do. The code works now, being able to import an image, divide it by the white image, and save the new image in a datatype that ENVI can operate in. Now, I am working on a way to modify the code so a user can just input the filenames, instead of needing to modify the code each time you want to use a different image. To do this, I am creating an empty list, then running a for loop that will prompt the user to input the file name. Then, I will append the filename to the array until all the desired file names are entered. After the list is full, another for loop will run the variables on the list through our existing code, eliminating the inconsistencies in lighting in all the images entered, outputting them in a format compatible with ENVI.

We are having issues with the lighting on MISHA, as the LED lights are old and dim, resulting in inadequate lighting for imaging. Since the structure of MISHA wont allow us to replace the individual LED s that are acting up, we wont be able to fix this issue before Friday, when we are imaging the palimpsest-which we now know is from the 14th century.

Hudson and I only have tomorrow to resolve our issues, as we need MISHA and all of our code running to its best ability by Friday when we need to image the palimpsest. Fingers crossed that all goes well tomorrow!
