h1. *Ideas Page: OpenCV Google Summer of Code 2012*

_+From+_: B. Yao, G. Bradski, L. Fei-Fei, _A Codebook-Free and Annotation-Free Approach for Fine-Grained Image Categorization_ to be published in "CVPR 2012":http://www.cvpr2012.org
General Information:
* "GSoC 2012 site":http://code.google.com/soc/
* "Timeline for GSoC 2012":http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2012
** *Next important dates:*
*** -March March 9th: Organization Application deadline.-
*** -March 16th: Announcement of GSoC Mentoring Orgs. (whether we're in or out) deadline.
Times:
* UTC to PDT (Pacific Daylight Time == Daylight savings time. In winter it's PST).
** "utc time converter":http://weatherarc.com/utc-time-conversion
h2. For students interested in applying
* *To apply to us:*
** Go to http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012
** Click on "apply"
** After the organizations load (takes some time), type in "OpenCV", click on what comes up and apply.
*** [[GSoCApplicationTemplate]] -- This is what we want to know about you
h2. Project Idea summary
*Students may propose their own projects (give us a clear summary and why you can do this project). However below are some of our priorities for this year*
* *OpenCL Optmization:*
** We have contributors already, get one or more of them to be GSoC students
* *Mobile vision app development:*
** Vision apps on phone and tablet. We want a very clear "hello world" type of example to make it easier for the rest to start developing mobile vision applications. People can apply for:
*** iOS (iPhone) examples
*** Android example
* *Mech Turk Interface*
** Easily label images for train test in OpenCV
* *1D and 2D Barcode readers:*
** We have a basic datamatrix reader. Expand to other kinds of barcodes (1D, other 2D).
* *Natural barcodes:*
** OpenCV can read calibration patterns. Calibrate a camera, rectify it's output. Put a picture next to a calibration pattern in a scene. Find 2D interest points with features2D. Measure them in the image using the calibration pattern. Use the pattern of interest points and their measures to turn the picture into a calibration pattern/barcode so that the computer recognizes the picture and knows where it is in relation to the iamge.
*** Stretch goal, embeded and retrieve watermarks in the image.
* *Python example:*
** We're finding the python interface extremely useful and productive. It needs a lot more examples
* *Tutorials:*
** Continue with "OpenCV Tutorials":http://opencv.itseez.com/doc/tutorials/tutorials.html
* *Inverted index:*
** Help create an _*inverted index*_ of functionality to functions. That is, say, _edge detection_ would list Sobel, Scharr, Canny etc.
* *Train Classifiers:*
** OpenCV has many classifiers. Train them carefully on useful objects (faces, people, cars, bikes, plates, cups, bowls etc) and we'll allow others to use those trained categories.
* *Structure from Motion (SfM):*
** Help adapt libmv for OpenCV.
* *Course-ware:*
** We want to start offering vision courses using OpenCV.
*** If you are expert in a topic (say it's your area of graduate research, or you've just finished a project or course in a particular topic and can explain it well)
*** Write up the topic, the math and then develop a step by step example of it using OpenCV.
