Day 4

During our meeting this morning we watched 2 videos on the freshman imaging science class that our advisor Joe Pow teaches. We got to learn a bit about what his class does when school is in session and I found it very interesting by the way that his class takes place. For example, his class does project from day one till imagine RIT towards the end of the year. For example in the images below, this was last years project done by the freshman. 

This project was shown at Imagine RIT. They worked with seneca park zoo to create a imaging system that could take images of bugs from all angles for research purposes. This is a very cool way to teach a class, with having no tests, quizzes, no lectures, etc. His teaching stye seems to be very helpful both in the classroom in learning but also out of the classroom with learning to work with others since the first day that you meet that person. 

After our meeting I went to my lab room and began finishing my problem statement that was mentioned in the previous blog. At around 9:30am me and my lab partner went to a PhD defense seminar. The speaker was Sanghui Han, and she was teaching about a compact satellite imaging system called CubeSat. 

She talked about her milestones in the project and how she came to this research and the results of it. She talked about a spectral image simulation tool DIRSIG. DIRSIG is an abbreviation for the digital imaging and remote sensing image generation model. This model can make single-band, multi-spectral or hyper-spectral imagery from the visible to the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. I found this model to be quite interesting because it gave me another perspective of the world. 

After the PhD defense was over I came back to my lab and continued to work on my problem statement that is due on Monday. Right round 3pm equipment came in for my lab that was sent over to Australia for a while for a project that was taking place. We have to unpack and organize that equipment tomorrow.
