Before break, the Princeton team met up at swimming pool to get some data to work with over break up until ou
r trip to Malta. I've been working on making use of that data. We took both vertical and horizontal scans of one end of the pool in an atempt to simulate the environment of the Maltese cave. The idea is to use horizontal scans (along with data from the smart tether we'll be getting; Drew is working on that) to connect the vertical scans. Then, the walls of the cave are "grown" outward from the vertical scans to give a full 3D map of the cave.I'm a huge history buff, so I've been looking into Maltese history, both ancient and recent. For most of it's history, Malta has been ruled by a foreign power (Greece, Britan, France, and others). They only recently got their independence in 1964. Of course there is only so much you can learn from reading, so I'm looking foward to getting the opportunity to actually talk with some locals about their contry's history. I'm also interested to see what the Maltese perspective is on some of the recent events in the news.
