Ideas Page: OpenCV Google Summer of Code 2012¶
- GSoC 2012 site
- Timeline for GSoC 2012
- Next important dates:
- March 9th: Organization Application deadline.
- UTC to PDT (Pacific Daylight Time == Daylight savings time. In winter it's PST).
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.
- GSoC2012ApplicationTemplate|This is what we want to know about you
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
- 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:
- 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
- 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.
- We want to start offering vision courses using OpenCV.
