Fundamentals in Python

 

Flowchart




Working with Spyder was a challenge. I had started on step 1 on a different approach than the lab instructions gave. My First Attempt started as follows

stringName = “Brittany Anne Joe” 

nameList – (“Brittany” “Anne” “Joe”) 

print (“Joe”) 

Although this gave the same results of printing my last name Joe in the program I learned to use some of Python’s functions that allows me to print my last name from a list. stringName.split automatically takes your stringName feature and divide it into separate cars for “Brittany” “Anne” “Joe”. To specify what to print from a list you need to index by specifying the number that represents your list. So “Brittany” would be 0, “Anne “would be 1, and “Joe” was 2. 

After step 1, we had to debug a prewritten code that generates the results of random wins and losses for the players. I was challenged to create a loop to generate 20 random numbers between 0-10. My unlucky value was number 5 and we had to use an if/else statement to count the number of times the unlucky number 5 was generated in the randomized list. We then did a while loop to remove the unlucky number from the list and print us a new list without the unlucky number 5. 

Doing the loops and the if/else statements were the biggest challenge following my funny blunder in the beginning as I needed to be able to recognize when to use append (n) the list within the sequence to specify that n is the list of randomly selected numbers. Additionally, to remove the unlucky numbers we had to use the remove function to remove the value 5 from the list.  Overall, with the help of classmate input and suggestions, I was able to produce the script above and understand the basics of Python.

Land Classification and Ground Truthing

 Summary Utilize observation skills to create a land use/ land classification map of Pascagoula, MS aerial map. Classified land use according to the USGS Standard Land Use/ Land Cover Classification System (LULC)  through Level I/ II codes and descriptions. Took random sample points through the map and apply "ground truth" to these locations and investigate the accuracy of my LULC classifications.

Module 7: Introduction to Google Earth Tours and KML Files

Image
 What are Google Earth and Google Earth Tours?  Google Earth is an interactive program that mimics a 3D representation of the Earth and its features based on satellite imagery. Google Earth Tours allows you to record the location that you marked and move around to provide users a visual showcase of the area or specific features. This application is useful for visual reference to present satellite imagery and give tours on multiple locations.  What are KML files?  In our lab module, we learned about transferring layer data from ArcPro into a KML file so that GIS data can be presented in Google Earth software. In order to transfer layer information into KML files, we used the Layer to KML conversion tool in Spatial Analysis to create the KML file.  Additionally, we input a legend image into Google Earth and organized all Google Earth features into proper folders to better direct the Google Earth Tour.
