Day 12

Today everyone went to the Ranch but instead of going out to valley to collect more points, Peter, Howard and I decided to work on classification using eCognition and Erdas. However, we ended up learning about how the laser scanner works and watching it work. When the laser scanner started collecting data, everyone had to constantly move so that we were not blocking the scanner. Everyone had to move in a line and circled around the laser scanner so I would imagine that we looked really silly from afar.

Although we went to the Ranch fairly early, once the laser scanner finished collecting the data, it was time for everyone to return to the barn.

Before returning to the barn, we dropped by the shrimp shack and everyone got some food. I got some sushi and rice with spam on top of it. Once we reached the barn, I took a nap and Peter worked on using eCognition to do classification and Howard used Erdas to do supervised classification. I am currently working on using Erdas to do unsupervised classification.
