Mosaic!

After flying over penguin colonies to take pictures of them, the first step in our analysis is to stitch together the (sometimes hundreds of) photos into a single mosaic. Here is a mosaic from our first (and so far only) flight over the Cape Crozier colony this season.

The next step in our workflow is counting every single penguin in the image.  We counted about 1550 penguins in this mosaic!

    Are you counting the adults only?

    Coucou Sara,
    après une longue conversation téléphonique avec ta mam (ça nous fait toujours du bien...), elle nous a transféré ton blog.
    Waou.... quel plaisir de te suivre dans tes immensités de glace.
    Bon séjour au pôle sud, belles observations des manchots Empereur.
