h1. Ideas Page: _OpenCV Google Summer of Code 2012_ * "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). >*"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. >>>* 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 * *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. h2.
