At PLOTS, Juan posted this link to a very interesting pair of glasses which filter out the wavelengths of chlorophyll and let you "see" crop stress: http://publiclaboratory.org/notes/cfastie/6-3-2012/nrg-images-cover-crop-trials#comment-858 Whoa. I ordered a pair, $20 shipped.

I've seen some DIY Lidar setups (http://unterbahn.com/2010/11/3d-laser-scanning-with-record-player-arduino-processing-blender/) and there are some NYC area PLOTS folks interested in trying it out. But I think the balloon mapping >> bundle adjustment approach is kind of elegant in that it uses equipment we're already good at using.

Dorn - Chris posted a bit more and I was speculating about how we might calculate biomass from the hi-res Meshlab data. I thought you might have some input: http://publiclaboratory.org/notes/cfastie/5-31-2012/3d-model-meshlab Also, I was wondering if you'd done any ground-based biomass measurements, or how they might be done (barring, i suppose, cutting down all your veg and weighing it... :-P )

Almost everyone has removed their images -- Sorry, can you move them back into the folder so I can copy to the PLOTS server? i was gone this weekend and didn't get a chance. If you want a copy please *copy* them out, leaving the folder in there for everyone else. Dropbox can be kind of a weird system i guess. but otherwise, the folder is at: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0eaer53x07kgi0w/v9p3xnI-GV and I believe I can invite you if you like, so you get it via your desktop interface instead of via the website.
