4sm-demonstration-5

Below are some results of step 13 to 16
using the "PAN solution"
May 17th 2014
54 minutes for the whole demo on my new machine
20 minutes for modeling 32 millions pixels at step_11-1
that's 0.035 ms per pixel,
or 40 times less than the fastest ALLUT process on that same image,
including smart-smoothing and bottom typing,
and with a better precision on retrieved depth

It is fair to stress though
that 4SM cannot account for variable water optical properties
unlike semi-analytical methods

4SM on USB3 stick/SSD?

For your Linux guru friend and/or for your system administrator

Wouldn't it be nice to have Ubuntu on an external SSD drive/stick
- together with a working directory for running the demo or tutorials or process any image?
So that it may be plugged/booted onto any X86 or AMD64 computer.
Note: this would not affect/upset the local IT setup other than assigning one/any particular PC to start/boot from the USB device.
This device can be just a USB3 stick like SanDisk Extreme, 32 or 64 GB on a recent PC.
- Ubuntu needs less than 10GB.
- The rest is for /home where work can be done.
I gather this can achieve record speed at very low cost.
Once it works, you can take it around with you
