Summer of Code

Hi everyone,

I'm a student who is finishing a master's degree in computer science with a thesis on image processing. A little more specifically I do texture analysis and texture synthesis.

Anyways, I noticed that GIMP is a mentoring organization for Google's Summer of Code for 2006. I'll be completing my degree by the time the coding portion of the program begins and so I can work full-time on a project for most of the summer. This will give me some more practical working experience over the summer and hopefully be a lot of fun. I've been wanting to gain experience with open source programming and the ability to have a mentor for the work is very appealing to me.

I've applied to the program to work on the "Save for the Web" plug-in and the Healing Brush. The Healing Brush in particular is interesting to me and is quite related to the work that I'm already familiar with when I did my Master's thesis. If anyone has any other suggestions for projects I'm very open to them, or if anyone wanted to know more about me to aid in the sponsorship decision please ask (my resume is at www.cs.usask.ca/grads/kbs464/resume.pdf )

Thanks a bunch for your time, Kevin

Summer of Code

Hello. I am a student of MSTU and I have participated in developing alrithm that converts halftone black and white image to array of lines with certain parameters that can discribe parent image. There were some of requirements that we have observed: - It must run as fast as possible, we consider that that our algorithm can work in real time, without any delay. - It has to represent a full list of line we needed to solve our problem and there must be no false lines. At the end we got the complete working algorithm and I think that may interest the GIMP project.
And also I think I can include this algorithm to GIMP. This will be a usefull function I thought.
Follow the link to see what it can do: http://almaz.mrtech.ru/algo.jpg

This looks like it could make a nice GIMP plug-in. There's a tutorial at developer.gimp.org about writing a plug-in and the GIMP source tree has lots of examples. Let us know if you need further help.

I am very happy about your application. Your experience seems to make you a very good candidate for the "Healing Brush" project. We are looking forward to work with you.

Well, I'm glad that you are interested in. I want to know if I can write this plug-in in the context of Summer of Code?

I'm not really sure what uses this algorith might have, besides turning the image into some kind of sketch.

What do you mean by "converts halftone black and white image to array of lines with certain parameters that can discribe parent image."

- what are these parameters?

This link is about my idea: http://gimp.mrtech.ru/

There is short article. But if you are interested in I can show all mathemetic calculations, graphics and other materials I have.

Well, today is 7 may and for registration I have only 1 day. So, I would like to know answer for my question: if I can develop this module in the context Summer of Code?

Your application submitted in the Google SoC web interface should definitely contain links to this material.

It should also contain an overview of your educational background, and a rough schedule of the tasks you'll have to do.

Right now, my answer would be "no". This looks like "yet another edge detection filter".

This might be caused by mutual problem with the english language - from your description, there seems to be much more than is visible in the example images, almost like you're trying to convert an image to a vector representation with the ability to restore the bitmap image (the "parameters" your were talking about?).

You should show us why your approach it is outstanding - for example, how it performs in comparison to other edge detection filters in GIMP. Also, a short summary of possible uses (image analysis?, image recognition?) would help us to understand what a user can do with your approach.

Please submit your application to Google, and try to include anything make makes it possible to understand what you're going to do.

HTH, Michael

True, although it seems like a better edge-detector than anything we have so far.

One thing you might consider is that it appears that you already have working code, and in that case, converting that working code into a working GIMP plugin is usually a fairly straightforward process that is far less work than the scope of a typical SoC project. If there is a way you can think of broadening your proposal, it would help. You obviously have the education and experience that is most useful in a GIMP collaborator.

There are several example projects you might be interested in tackling alongside converting your code into a GIMP plugin. Perhaps one of those captures your imagination. Some of them involve plug-ins, so would be a natural tie-in.

You also might want to propose doing some work in translating the GIMP UI and/or help into your native language. While pure documentation work is not allowed by Google, I see nothing that forbids *any* documentation work, and depending on the state of the translation of gimp into your native tongue, it could be a great help to us. Still, if you do that, I suggest that you make at least one other proposal (Google allows you up to 20!) in case it gets disqualified.
