  • Description

    • I did not mange to get the latest version of Grids ready for the practical, but it is ready now.
    • There has been much improvment in the underlying data handling.
    • Since the practical session I have got the latest version working and re-packaged the practical.
    • The main differences you may notice are:
      • The images output are truely on a grey scale.
      • The processing is done chunk by chunk rather than row by row.
      • The operation is faster than previously.

  • Documentation and Files

    • geog5060_7.ppt Lecture 7 power point presentation.
    • geog5060_7.doc General information about this module component.
    • geog5060_assignment3.doc Assignment details.
    • geog5060_prac7.zip from 2006 File required for the practical on 2007-03-09.
    • geog5060_prac7.zip Very similar to what was used in the practical, but based on a more recent version of a key library. This is the re-packaged version that ideally you should use.

      • Wrote an announcement to make everyone aware of the availablilty of an improved version of the practical materials.
      • Richard Coppell asked to borrow the reports from previous years.
        • I lent these out on 2007-03-16 on the understanding that they would be returned directly, but they were not.
        • I sent an email to everyone asking for these to be passed back or on.

      • Lent out the reports from previous years on the understanding that they would be returned directly...
      • Called to help in the lab :)
      • Investigated upness and downness measure:
        • It seems upness (downness) measure upness (downness) to a place, not upness (downness) from a place.
          • It can be argued that the latter is more intuitive, but in either case the documentation is inadequate.

      • Meeting with Junaid Arshad
        • Concern about the deadline which was appearing on the portal calendar as being this week
          • Changed it to be the end of the course with the same deadline as the main profect 2007-05-25.
        • Junaid interested in developing the wikipedia contribution.
          • I encouraged Junaid to get involved with the other groups considering a contribution in this fashion during the practical session last Friday.
      • Meeting with Richard Coppell
        • Richard interested in developing a proposal for his 50% project.
        • These are due by the end of the week 2007-03-15.
        • After suggesting a few ideas, Richard seemed most interested in developing axis based metrics.
        • He plans to go away and look up Peter Fisher's work on this topic.

      • Practical
        • This seemed to go reasonably well.
        • We based the session on the 2006 practical documentation.
        • It seemed like 4 main groups formed.
        • Kirk was great :)
        • Hopefully all will work out OK.

      • Quick meeting with Steve.
        • We touched some files on geogweb and changed their permissions so I can overwrite them.
        • Steve is heading to Montanna so won't be around whilst Assignment 3 should be happening.

      • Lecture went OK, I am not happy with the quality of the slides...
        • Should redo pictures in colour and so that they are clear when projected on a white background
        • The practical session is from 12-4pm on Friday
      • I am to learn to use the portal for this...
        • Steve explained that the major problem with the portal is that there is a 1MB file size limit
