Sunday – 11/15/09

  • Costa Rica: Download satellite imagery and analyze defaunation using spatial data.
  • Bolivia: Redo figures including this effect
  • Bolivia: write up methods final and results section with new results.
  • Pack all field gear for tomorrow

 

Steps for Costa Rica remote sensing analyses:

1) Identify and download imagery (in process)

2) Identify and trim images to study area

3) Georeference all imagery to base imagery

4) Identify/remove clouds (write IDL code for this)

5) Merge images (remove SLC, cloud areas, etc…) – modify my IDL code for this.

6) Import GPS points from field work

7) Classify as forest / non-forest / mangroves

8) Use same spectral classes for all images

9) De speckle (modify my IDL code for this)

10) Manual clean (modify my IDL code for this)
