Day 8

Today we began our day with our morning meeting. Today we were introduced to another interns project. He described what he was doing in his project right now. For example, he is making 3-D (in the program inventor) cars, buildings, etc. to make a scene. After the meeting I went to my lab room and began finishing my coding that I started yesterday. I worked on this for about an hour. After i finished my coding and tested it. Me and my lab partner began going over the GRIT machine. Our

mentor Chris explained to us what it does and how it does it. The GRIT machine is a Goniometer; which is a device that can move around in a 360 azimuth and 0 to 90 degrees in zenith. It measures bidirectional reflectance properties of materials; it measures reflectances using spectrometers. It also shows the ratio of incident vs excitant lighting in all directions (how much light is being absorbed in or reflected out). After going over the GRIT machine we began working on another python code for blob detectors which we are still in the process of finishing.
