For my first idea, I have been researching methods and corner and shape detection that I might be able to apply to my implementation. I found a very relevant paper about shape detection using VLI and NIR imagery from drones, which, while new and not especially well cited, is very closely related to what I want to do, and I think it will provide a good base for my project.

For my second idea, I have been researching different classification methods for audio. Both of the papers I found this week use a metric called Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients, in both KNN and DNN algorithms. I think, having read over these papers, I will continue to search more specifically for research related to this concept.

For my final idea, I have found two papers that discuss the obfuscation and user controls necessary to make geo-location safe, while still preserving its usefulness. One of these papers also discusses a relevance based weighting system which I think will be a good resource for my project.
