Digitized Images!!!

July 30th, 2010

Even though I still have to generate a few seismograms in my last digitization program, I've started writing my report for my advisor. My rough draft is 30 pages! Yes, it is a lot of pictures but it's also a lot of very detailed information about what I've done this summer incase future students are asked to continue my work. The outline of the report is as follows:

- Importance of Digitization

- Harvard Station Information

- Harvard Seismogram Descriptions

- Cleaning

-Scanning/copying/imaging

-Image Preprocessing

- Important Parameters for Digitization Software

- Software #1 Info/Analysis/Pictures

- Software #2 Info/Analysis/Pictures

- Software #3 Info/Analysis/Pictures

- Dealing with Tick Marks

- Long Time Series Digitization

- Argument for Best Digitization Program

- Using Current Data

- Fortran Codes

Phew! That's a lot! I'm trying to include everything and it helps that I have a binder full of notes from the entire summer to reference. I've also included a few different images below of different scanning and copying resolutions.

1) 200dpi, 400dpi, and 600dpi resolution copies

2) 200dpi, 400dpi, 600dpi, and 800dpi resolution scans

3) Scanned/Copied versus Digitized Images
