  2. LAB 1
    1. LAB1: Lens Falloff
    2. Extract_Digital_Counts.pro
    3. Lab1 due Monday, Oct 9 2006 (no later than 5pm). Non-DL people: Print out report and place in container outside my office (room 76-3132). DL-people: can send their report to me via email (pdf or doc format). My email is: emmett@cis.rit.edu

  3. LAB 2
    1. LAB2: Radiometric Calibration
    2. LAB2: Grade Sheet
    3. ALL: Please print out and attach the grade sheet as the last page of your lab.
    4. Lab2 due Tuesday, Oct 31 2006 (no later than 5pm). Non-DL (and/or "local") people: I encourage you to use the CIS labs/facilities to perform this experiment (i.e, the fiber optic light source, lens bench, etc). DL-people: In the event that you can not use the CIS labs/facilities, I can provide a battery and light source as a "kit". You can either go to RadioShack (for example) and make the light source yourself (about $3 total cost) or we can mail you the kit (bulb, bulb holder, and battery). IMPORTANT: DL-people, you must let me or Cindy know what you are going to do ASAP (in the event we need to mail you something right away). Thanks.

  4. LAB 3
    1. Lab3:_BRDF of Materials
    2. LAB3: Grade Sheet
    3. ALL: Please print out and attach the grade sheet as the last page of your lab.
    4. Lab3 due Friday, Nov 10 2006 (no later than 5pm). General Comments: Same as previously stated for Lab 2.
