h1. Ideas Page: _OpenCV Google Summer of Code 2012_ "foo":[[http://code.google.com/soc/]] * "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 9th: Organization Application deadline. ---- Times: * UTC to PDT (Pacific Daylight Time == Daylight savings time. In winter it's PST). * http://weatherarc.com/utc-time-conversion = 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. * This is what we want to know about you = Project Idea summary (see details under each mentor) = '''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 * '''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 [[http://opencv.itseez.com/doc/tutorials/tutorials.html|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. ---- = Mentors = In the below, get rid of the ''-delete-'' to make the emails work. . {{{ Alexander Bovyrin PhD, Senior Researcher Argus/Itseez founder NNU Lecturer [email protected] }}} {{{ Gary Bradski Founder, Industrial Perception Inc.
