Processing/Analysis Day

June 27, 2013

I began the day by working once again in Definiens eCognition, trying to improve my WV2 classification. After rebuilding and re-analyzing everything with some minor changes, I was able to increase t0 35% overlap with the digitized kuku’i polygons. Still not as much as I would like, but I can just not seem to break out the kuku’i from certain sections of pasture. Because of this classification, I had to reexport and requantify everything in ArcMap.  Following this, I spent just about the entire day working on writing my final paper for my research topic. This paper follows a standard scientific paper format with abstract, intro, methods, results/discussion, and future directions which might be able to help a student next year if they chose to go in a similar pathway working with OBIA. I completed just about all of the paper today except for finishing the final future directions section, and then chose to begin work on my powerpoint presenting my results. I am trying to follow a similar scientific information pathway like my paper but chose to change some things in order to make it flow better for a public presentation. I plan to complete this powerpoint presentation tomorrow morning, and then start practicing the delivery in the afternoon.
