Meeting With AUVSI Leader Scheduled

Meeting: I have eventually managed to tie down the leader of the payload section of the AUVSI to a meeting with me on Monday. He has sent me links to some of the papers they used previously. Such as a paper: here it seems to be quite useful from the images displayed, however i cannot find source code to sue based on this and the maths looks quite rigorous. I plan on viewing this over the weekend as well as securing the histogram analysis. I would like to get the previous code from the team to find out exactly how they interacted the system together as i am wary of building up an entire system in one direction to find it is difficult to combine with the system they will be using.

To Complete:
- method for histogram standardization (windows of images)
- classifier based on distance from training data mean and std (distance based classifier)
- read paper in entirety and try and find source code
- attempt to find reasonable method for location the targets within images
