Workstation


	The workstation, this research effort is being implemented and tested on, has the following specifications:

Component	Spec’s
Processor	AMD 3700+, Sandiego Core, 1MB of Cache
Motherboard	DFI-NF4 SLI-DR (ATX, Socket 939)
Graphics Card	BFG 7800GTX, 256MB Ram,1300MHz Mem,460MHz Core
Memory	OCZ, 2x1GB, 2-3-2-5 Timing, DDR 400 (PC 3200)
Power Supply	OCZ, 520W, 12V@33A, 2xFans, LED
Case	ATX MidTower,Black,4x80mmFans,SideWindow,MoboTray
Hard Drive	200GB, 7200RPM, 16MB Cache, IDE Ultra ATA133


	The following software packages are being used to read and manipulate the data and program the 3D reconstruction algorithm:

Software Package Name	Link to Software
Matlab v7	http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/
Matlab v6.5	http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0	http://msdn.microsoft.com/
ER Mapper 7	http://www.ermapper.com/
Global Mapper 7	http://www.rockware.com/
Adobe Photoshop CS 2.0	http://www.adobe.com/


	I used Global Mapper software package to convert the compressed images from the FairField data set to TIFF images. I am using photoshop to view the TIFF images sent from various data sets. I am only using ER Mapper to view the LiDAR data. I used the MS Visual C++ 6.0 package to format and partition the data. I am using Matlab to implement the segmentation and reconstruction algorithm.
