Evaluation of Inversion Algorithms on DIRSIG Generated Plume Model Simulations

Acknowledgement

I would like to take this time to thank Scott Brown, Didi Kuo and Dr. Schott for all their assistance. I am surprised Scott Brown has not pulled out all of his hair by now from all the debugging he was faced with to make these simulations presentable. Didi Kuo's previous works was a tremendous and essential asset to my research. I appreciate the time Didi took to take me step by step through the procedure of simulating a plume. Dr. Schott's expertese helped me to look at things in a different way and examine aspects of the data which revealed subtle yet important information which I would have overlooked.
I'd like to thank everyone for their patience as I struggled with DIRSIG. And last but not least, I'd like to thank Dr. Joseph Hornak for taking me through the process of a research proposal, composition and "publishing" my results.
Thank you Loan for staying up with me as I ran back and forth to Kinkos trying to get my poster presentaion ready for the Industrial Associates Meeting. Most of all thank you for putting up with all the technical mumbo jumbo as you proofread my paper.
This experience was one of my best at R.I.T. After completing this project I feel I can accomplish anything. The people at the Center for Imaging Science are amazing. Everyone from the instructors to my peers are unique in their own reguard. All these experiences I will take with me as I enter into the working world.
