cfastie "That's a really clever idea, and I think it might work. However, it assumes that: The photos must be simultaneous if anything in the scene is cha..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "I think most small Powershots use an IR block filter that is 8.9 x 7.9 mm. That's the advertised size of the BG3 glass filter I put into an A2200 a..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "I see what you mean when you say that the difference between the blue and red channels is correlated with the presence of plants. Your monochrome i..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "Zorn, If you remove the IR block filter, the camera will take very strange photos because all three color channels (RGB) will have lots of NIR ligh..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "Roderick, that's a really good point that the two cameras are different models and might be processing the frames differently. Someone also comment..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "If you have two cameras, and your goal is NDVI or false color infrared, the best way to get what you need is one unmodified camera and one with the..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "More tests are definitely merited. First, I was assuming that Carl was using a Rosco blue filter, and my original conclusions were based on that. ..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "Hi Jay, This is a great example of how important it is to get a good exposure on spectral photos. You have to hit it just right to get the most in..." | Read more » about 10 years ago

cfastie "This has great potential. If you add a few extra pieces of styrofoam around the top of the bell, then the whole rig will float with the camera well..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "Pascal, These are some really good ideas you are proposing. I am very interested in multiple, bracketed exposures to get more dynamic range. This w..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "There is not much easily accessible information in that paper, but maybe what they did is this: They removed the IR blocking filter from a camera,..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "Dave, This is an excellent idea. It looks like you are able to get much more information out of typical spectra. A quick look at recent spectra at..." | Read more » about 10 years ago

cfastie "my approach would be to upload multiple images and list them off-map. The user can then select photos to display them on map. I agree, this is a g..." | Read more » about 10 years ago

cfastie "Sreyanth, I don't know the issues associated with using SWB offline. I always work offline -- taking still photos of spectra and later uploading t..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
