Today's messages are brought to you by the letter: D

Today Caleb and Dr. Stonedahl setup the permeameters so that they will be ready to be used for collecting data tomorrow. Mostly Caleb worked on the program, and found a method for detecting the blue dye in the darker sand. This method uses the RGB colorspace, unlike the method for the lighter sand which we are using the HSV colorspace, so after modifying the code so that the new method would be able to work in the RGB colorspace, we ran the code used to compare the blue detection method to some marked images, we were able to get matches of 98.09% on the light sand, and 98.90% on the dark sand, so we should be able to use this method in the code where we are comparing the timelapse images to the simulated images.

For tomorrow:
Collect data from all three permeameters.
Run program to see how it has improved.
Move sand upstairs.
