Dear Sea-Mat members

Does any of you have, or know somebody who has, a matlab routine for 
Q-mode factor analysis? Any information is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, Rich.

Today I try to open the "mapping tool" from SEA-MAT home page, just gave me
"The page cannt be displayed".  It happened notonly once. Would you please
find the reason.

Hi,

I have just come across this community and seek some help.  If you read =
on, you might find some useful tools among my stuff too, although they =
are probably covered by sea-mat already.

I am developing a matlab toolbox for human scalp electroencephalograpy =
(EEG) topographic mapping, among other things.  See =
http://eeg.sourceforge.net - there are some useful functions among it.

I would like to ask a couple of things of this community.

1.  I wonder if anyone has a matlab function for fitting a tesselation =
to an object?

For example, I would like to tesselate magnetic resonance images (MRI) =
of the human head.  Commercial programs often use a shrink-wrap =
technique.  This involves creating a tesselated sphere larger than the =
head and then moving the vertices toward the head until they reach a =
scalp intensity threshold in the MRI image volume.  They also =
incorporate some vertex "adhesion" or nearest neighbour distance and/or =
angle and/or intersection restrictions ("smoothness").

2.  I am also interested in development of spherical or realistic spline =
Laplacian routines in matlab.  My work involves interpolating the =
electric potential over the scalp, often with surface contours.  Matlab =
is frustrating because the contours can be so damn accurate they look =
sharp and nasty, rather than nice smooth curves.  I would be eternally =
grateful if you can offer any advice on this matter.

If any would like Laplacian functions for a mesh, my toolbox above has a =
Laplacian routine - called mesh_laplacian.m and also an interpolation =
function that minimises the Laplacian - the .m files contain a journal =
reference.  The results are quite nice, but I haven't yet tried to =
contour it and I'm afraid the matlab tools for this will not do a nice =
job.

There are also some simple functions for tesselating a sphere of any =
radius, fitting irregular vertices to a sphere or ellipse and =
visualizing scalar values on 3D surfaces (using patch).  If you would =
like more information, see the website above or ask me.

I write to this list with the view that ocean and weather system math, =
computing and visualization is very similar to electric =
current/potential for the human head.

Thankyou for your consideration.

Kind regards, Darren

Hello Alejando,

This works for our workhorses.  Your mileage may vary:

Hi,

I have just come across this community and seek some help.  If you read on, you might find some useful tools among my stuff too, although they are probably covered by sea-mat already.

I am developing a matlab toolbox for human scalp electroencephalograpy (EEG) topographic mapping, among other things.  See http://eeg.sourceforge.net - there are some useful functions among it.

I would like to ask a couple of things of this community.

1.  I wonder if anyone has a matlab function for fitting a tesselation to an object?

For example, I would like to tesselate magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the human head.  Commercial programs often use a shrink-wrap technique.  This involves creating a tesselated sphere larger than the head and then moving the vertices toward the head until they reach a scalp intensity threshold in the MRI image volume.  They also incorporate some vertex "adhesion" or nearest neighbour distance and/or angle and/or intersection restrictions ("smoothness").

2.  I am also interested in development of spherical or realistic spline Laplacian routines in matlab.  My work involves interpolating the electric potential over the scalp, often with surface contours.  Matlab is frustrating because the contours can be so damn accurate they look sharp and nasty, rather than nice smooth curves.  I would be eternally grateful if you can offer any advice on this matter.

If any would like Laplacian functions for a mesh, my toolbox above has a Laplacian routine - called mesh_laplacian.m and also an interpolation function that minimises the Laplacian - the .m files contain a journal reference.  The results are quite nice, but I haven't yet tried to contour it and I'm afraid the matlab tools for this will not do a nice job.

There are also some simple functions for tesselating a sphere of any radius, fitting irregular vertices to a sphere or ellipse and visualizing scalar values on 3D surfaces (using patch).  If you would like more information, see the website above or ask me.

I write to this list with the view that ocean and weather system math, computing and visualization is very similar to electric current/potential for the human head.

Thankyou for your consideration.

Kind regards, Darren

Hi, All, 

     Does any one have a matlab solver for 2nd order non-linear (at least
quasi-linear) elliptical equations in general forms? I will be very glad if
you have one to share. Thanks!

I've been having some problems generating figures from Matlab.  After I
generate a figure, I usually save it as an EPS file so I can insert it
in Word documents.  When I insert the figure into Word the words
"TextEnd" show up on the figure.

Any ideas on how to keep this from happening?  I'm new to Matlab, so
forgive my ignorance if this is a simple problem!

Hi,

I have just come across this community and seek some help.  If you read on, you might find some useful tools among my stuff too, although they are probably covered by sea-mat already.

I am developing a matlab toolbox for human scalp electroencephalograpy (EEG) topographic mapping, among other things.  See http://eeg.sourceforge.net - there are some useful functions among it.

I would like to ask a couple of things of this community.

1.  I wonder if anyone has a matlab function for fitting a tesselation to an object?

For example, I would like to tesselate magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the human head.  Commercial programs often use a shrink-wrap technique.  This involves creating a tesselated sphere larger than the head and then moving the vertices toward the head until they reach a scalp intensity threshold in the MRI image volume.  They also incorporate some vertex "adhesion" or nearest neighbour distance and/or angle and/or intersection restrictions ("smoothness").

2.  I am also interested in development of spherical or realistic spline Laplacian routines in matlab.  My work involves interpolating the electric potential over the scalp, often with surface contours.  Matlab is frustrating because the contours can be so damn accurate they look sharp and nasty, rather than nice smooth curves.  I would be eternally grateful if you can offer any advice on this matter.

If any would like Laplacian functions for a mesh, my toolbox above has a Laplacian routine - called mesh_laplacian.m and also an interpolation function that minimises the Laplacian - the .m files contain a journal reference.  The results are quite nice, but I haven't yet tried to contour it and I'm afraid the matlab tools for this will not do a nice job.

There are also some simple functions for tesselating a sphere of any radius, fitting irregular vertices to a sphere or ellipse and visualizing scalar values on 3D surfaces (using patch).  If you would like more information, see the website above or ask me.

I write to this list with the view that ocean and weather system math, computing and visualization is very similar to electric current/potential for the human head.

Thankyou for your consideration.

Kind regards, Darren

I've got something that should read both raw and processed
rdi files of all firmware versions (the format changes depending
in firmware)....it's *almost* ready for "public release" so
any feedback would be appreciated.

      In response to an email that was posted yesterday regarding scripts
that convert raw RDI data into Matlab, I would like post the website for
our ADCP Toolbox.  The ADCP Toolbox is a set of documented Matlab scripts
that convert RDI data into NetCDF format.  The toolbox loads the data into
Matlab, processes and displays it, and stores it in a NetCDF format.
During the processing the data can be converted from Beam to Earth
coordinates, data collected before and after deployment can be trimmed off,
and the toolbox can find all the bins that fall below Mean Sea Level (MSL)
plus a Standard Deviation (Dstd).  Data stored in the NetCDF format
includes velocity, intensity, % good, correlation data, temperature, and
speed of sound.  Also stored with the data are many of the particulars
regarding the deployment that the user inputs.

      Please feel free to visit the website and down load the ADCP Toolbox.
Please let us know if you have any questions or comments!

Regards,
Andree Ramsey

Folks

To convert raw RDI binary files to .mat files I use the 'export' 
function in RDI's standard WinADCP program. Old versions had some 
glitches but the latest one seems quite reliable. It may not be the 
ultimate in flexibility, but it's very simple.

I've got something that should read both raw and processed
rdi files of all firmware versions (the format changes depending
in firmware)....it's *almost* ready for "public release" so
any feedback would be appreciated.

http://www.ocgy.ubc.ca/~rich/RDI2MAT.zip

(there's a couple of examples included as well).

Rich.

Message-ID: <OF53D55E56.D76C060B-ON85256BFA.0053A358@er.usgs.gov>

      In response to an email that was posted yesterday regarding scripts
that convert raw RDI data into Matlab, I would like post the website for
our ADCP Toolbox.  The ADCP Toolbox is a set of documented Matlab scripts
that convert RDI data into NetCDF format.  The toolbox loads the data into
Matlab, processes and displays it, and stores it in a NetCDF format.
During the processing the data can be converted from Beam to Earth
coordinates, data collected before and after deployment can be trimmed off,
and the toolbox can find all the bins that fall below Mean Sea Level (MSL)
plus a Standard Deviation (Dstd).  Data stored in the NetCDF format
includes velocity, intensity, % good, correlation data, temperature, and
speed of sound.  Also stored with the data are many of the particulars
regarding the deployment that the user inputs.

      Please feel free to visit the website and down load the ADCP Toolbox.
Please let us know if you have any questions or comments!

Regards,
Andree Ramsey

Message-ID: <3D3D6CB6.3050406@rana.dms.uconn.edu>

Folks

To convert raw RDI binary files to .mat files I use the 'export' 
function in RDI's standard WinADCP program. Old versions had some 
glitches but the latest one seems quite reliable. It may not be the 
ultimate in flexibility, but it's very simple.

Hi there-

I wondered if anyone had any mfiles for calculating solar zenith and azimuth angles.  I don't want to take the time to code something up from scratch.

thanks much

soradna1 in the air-sea toolbox (on SEAMAT site) does solar altitude.
