HERO Biographies
Albert Decatur, Undergraduate '09
Research Interests:
Most of my GIS experience is in land-cover classification, land-cover time
series,
object based image analysis, and accuracy assessment. My interests extend to
cartography,
cartograms,
toponymy,
citizens as sensors, citizens
representing themselves,
mashups, and
strange histories. Did you notice "Where the Pig Fell Off"?HERO
Experience:
I work on the HOLMES project with
Colin Polsky and
Gil Pontius. HOLMES stands for HERO Object-based Lawn Mapping Exploration of
Suburbia. We were previously known as
HERO MAP.
I design changes to the methodology, perform land-cover classifications, write
tutorial documentation and website, help make presentations and build ArcGIS
models, as well as coordinate correspondence and meetings. I also designed our
team logo.Personal:
I enjoy exploring abandoned, neglected, and sacred spaces such as
cemeteries, old factories, and places of worship. I also enjoy campaigning
for
civil rights,
comedy , and doing the unexpected with computers and the internet. For
instance, running a computer
without a
hard drive.Honors:
