Carter Andrew: Conservation Metrics: Week 8!!
I am going to make this short because I doubt anybody really cares about another week of computer words and stuff so here’s the summary: I spent most of the week working on building training data sets for different visual detection projects. These were fun but rather repetitive. I also presented on the projects I […]
Carter Andrew: Conservation Metrics: Week 7
Monday: I spent most of my morning working on researching how to make an installer file. This was inspired by a meeting I had about integrating my projects into the workflow at CMI. If we could set the file up in the same to place on every computer we could devise an R script that […]
Carter Andrew: Conservation Metrics: Week 6
Side note: I got an extension!! I will be staying on at conservation metrics until week 8 🙂 Monday: I worked on formally documenting the projects that I had been working on. I have never done this and it felt good to explain everything I had been working on. Besides that, I had a pretty […]

Monday: After spending another beautiful weekend in Santa Cruz skateboarding, surfing, and exploring the city I was ready to get back to work. I had a meeting with Jeff(My supervisor) about my next project. The last few weeks I have been developing and testing a segment of c++ code that pulls essential data out of […]
Carter Andrew: Conservation Metrics: Week Three
Monday: Today when I arrived to work, after making copies of the appropriate .dll files, I uploaded my programs executable to the company’s local servers so that we could begin testing across computers. Upon the first test, we found that there was a problem with my code. I would later discover it was caused a […]
Carter Andrew: Conservation Metrics: Week Two
Monday: When the morning came I was eager to get back to work. Whenever I take a hiatus from a project it lets me asses problems from different angles. I had a number of experiments I wanted to do in order to find the missing link: reading the 16 and 32-bit numbers in the .wav […]
