3.0 Methodology

Steps on how to perform my project:
(Please work from d:temp)

    3.1 Objective # 1 Steps:



 
 

                                                Active Porosity = void(pores) area / total area     3.2 Objective # 2 Steps:

The output should be 0's and 1's.  This will give you a warning message: "This query file is not an image.  It is not intended for display."  Therefore, open Notepad with files ".rst" then import it to Excel to give you a row of 0's and 1's.  Then use Java Program to combine 1's from the horizontal transect.  We can not import directly from Idrisi to Excel as the file is incompatible with Microsoft Excel.











**Note: The above example data is only an example and does not correspond to the exact transect of the slides.  There is no need to do the above steps for Objective # 2 as Java solve the problem.  But I did those steps before Java was created and it was very time consuming and unnecessary.
 

3.3 Using Java Program  **Java is case sensitive.**
