What we want to know about you for OpenCV GSoC¶

NOTE: You MUST apply through Google Summer of Code, DO NOT send us an application directly!

• Students can submit their applications via the Google Summer of Code 2012 site from March 27 - April 9, 2012
  We welcome contact with prospective students. Send us mail:

Student Application for OpenCV-GSoC 2012¶

Contact Information¶

• Please provide:
  • Your name
  • A phone number
  • An email address where we can reach you for daily communication.
• If you have a website that discusses your research, work and/or coding, let us know.

Requirements¶

• We are looking for people who have strong programming backgrounds, there is no time to "learn on the job".
  • Most of the positions will require advanced ability and experience in C++ and/or Python.
    • Exception might be for help working on the website itself
  • Most of the projects require knowledge of computer vision techniques. If so, your application will not be accepted if you don't have such experience. These will be stated on the projects ideas page.

Again, you must meet the requirements -- it is not enough to "want" to work on computer vision, we have limited time and so we need people who already have the necessary background. If you lack this background, spend the next year getting the background and apply then, we intend to be back for GSoC 2013.

Students will be expected to ''meet'' with their mentors by email, skype or google chat once a week and to twitter at least 2x/day on their current coding activities

Sample Code and other skills¶

• With your application: Please send in some sample code that you are proud of and are prepared to answer questions on.
• If you have other useful skills such as experience with code optimization, or knowledge of SSE, MMX, CUDA or especially development experience on Android or iPhone let us know.
