AI-GEOSTATS: conferences and courses

2001-04-24 Thread Isobel Clark

Hi all

I hope no-one will be offended by this e-mail. 

Given the recent problems with the main Web site, I
hope no-one will mind if I remind you all that
sandwiched between:

AAPG in Denver 3-6 June 2001

and the SIAM conference in Boulder 11-14 June 2001

we are holding the Zero to Kriging in 30 hours course
at the IGWMC in Golden, Colorado 7-10 June 2001.

Anyone who registers and turns up the day before is
invited to my birthday party on 6th!!

Details on the course and all other IGWMC activities
can be found at

Re: AI-GEOSTATS: Kriging colour

2001-04-24 Thread Nicholas Lewin-Koh

hi,
Isn't it more natural to think about kriging in the CIE luv or lab color
space
since they are uniform and closer to the munsel color space which is used
in the field. Interpolation in RGB space seems like a bad idea, and
could give wierd results. Also aren't there adbrupt discontinuities in
color betweensoil horizons? is color varying smoothly?  
But I think CIE LUV or LAB makes alot more sense.

 Dear All,
 
 I am interested in kriging colour (soil colour - of course) and was
 thinking. Colour is perceived via 3 photoreceptors on the retina, therefore
 3 variables are rnecessary and sufficient to represent any colour. Numerical
 manipulation of Munsell colour codes does not appear to be in any way
 resonable, then there are the CIE and RGB systems. CIE has 3 variables XYZ
 and RGB clearly red, green and blue. The RGB system appears the most easily
 understood. Each variable can range from 0-255, and the variables are
 additive. The question is does anyone have any experience of constraining
 the estimates to lie between 0-255, or any ideas about the possible
 necessity of co-kriging,
 
 thanks
