Collecting vine leaves

Finally dream fieldwork in a wine district even though it's only Riverland and they only make cheap wines. Driving around to 3 properties and chatting about lowered consumption of wine. Surely not due to me, all due to the global propensity to create fake money and put it in circulation.

Papering on for POLINSAR 2009

Writing another conference paper - this time for POLINSAR 2009 in Frascati, Italy. Pity I don't have any funds to physically attend this one. The dual-polarimetric entropy-alpha decompositions are looking good. I did some of HH/VV by mistake and the results were quite strange. I need to analyze the mechanism for the HH/VV decomposition and interpret the results, there might be new bounds to understanding them.

I also got back into coding in RAT and added some scatter plotting capability, obviously helps in making the entropy-alpha plots and currently working on adding a geo-location framework.

Visiting Neuschwanstein

The big lumbering Disney castle built by Ludwig is a great sight. It rises over the alpensee. Long walk upto the castle through horse dropping infested roads. No pictures inside the castle , so got told of for it. All the rooms have Wagnerian themes , great fantasy land. With even a plastered artificial cave.

First snow in Munich

After flying around for some twenty eight hoursvo finally made it to munich and got too see the spectacular first snow of winter. I was so tired that I kept forgetting bits, hence I splurged on a cab instead of taking the train to wessling.

Then it hit me

So far research is beating about the bush. I should be able to detect water based permitivity change in canola.

Another night of going out has earned me a black eye and glue on the face. Now I will cut a fine figure in dlr. Solution drink some warm sake and work on reflectivity to drown the pain with the brain

Licensed to thrive

So I finally have my full license and my poster for Germany is in my hands. I could go out and have a drink at the electric light and drive home, but I decided not to be road kill.

Drowning in data

Another day in the sun digging up


dirt in roseworthy. The harvest has started so this would be my final set
of field samples. A terabyte of multiple frequency SAR data has been delivered to me , now I have to wade through it and fill the simulation and analysis gaps.
