July 30

Today was another day full of experimentation in IDL. In the morning the Bio-engineering interns from the U of R came over and toured our labs to see what we have been doing. Then we got free lunch, pizza! Throughout the afternoon I worked on the eroding commands, just on a JPEG because I knew I had gotten it to work before. I finally figured out how to erode effectively, unfortunately it only works in the gray scale, and when I change the color table, it leaves me with either almost no information, or a really bright low resolution image that barely resembles my original. Fortunately, I think I am going to have to erode each array (R,G,B) separately in each TIFF file, so it wont really matter if they are gray scale because I can reintroduce color as I put them back together. Hopefully that works.
