This is my first post for CS488.

• Met with Ajit to plan the next few weeks, and decided to start the data collection this week.
• Edited the timeline a little bit to include implementation of the project.
• I’ve shared my box folder with Dave and Charlie and will soon be contacting Andy Moore for access to volumetric data collected by the Geology students across campus.

• Met with Ajit to talk about the follow up steps on Monday.
• Based on the feedback, we decided to focus efforts on the following:
  • Updating the design framework/diagram,
  • Writing and explaining the design of the project,
  • Read other published papers to get an idea of the structure of the paper,
  • Add transition paragraphs in the paper.

• Did second pass for more papers for this week, focusing on the design, and processes used,
• Met with Ajit on Monday to discuss the project and plan rest of the semester,
• Took Quiz 5 for Project update.

  • Realized that many of the ideas were too big for a semester, and started researching in Earthquake Early Warning systems
• Worked on Quiz 2, and collected papers for each topic.

• Met with Ajit to filter ideas regarding parallel computing, and machine learning.
• Emailed Andy Moore in Geology to talk about Earthquake and Tsunami predictions.
• Emailed Charlie for suggestions regarding my Structure From Motion idea.
• Searched for more specific details on work done in similar areas.

• Looked for three general areas that I want to do my research in, namely:
  • Structure from Motion
  • Disaster prep and management
  • Parallel Computing
• Searched for some related work that has happened in these areas.
