Project Ideas / Our Software Universe
feel free to add / specify the projects ideas.
While we might consider application from students to write code in related fields / other application, our interest is to recruit students to work on these tools:
hugin
hugin is the hub of our activity. It is the most advanced OpenSource GUI to create stitched panoramas from 360°x180° full sphericals [1] to gigapixel size stitched images. Moreover it has some unique features such as the correction of chromatic aberration or (soon) HDR stitching. Project page
panotools
panotools is the library powering the magic. It's an extremely versatile library and can be used not only to seamlessly stitch images, but also correct many lens distortions or remap images to different projection.
Initially developed by Professor Helmut Dersch in 1998, this set of tools to warp and stitch images was born ahead of their time. Only a decade later competing products of equal versatility and functionality started to appear.
A number of proprietary GUIs have been commercialized for the panotools, notably PTgui, PTassembler, and PTmac.
Control Point Generator
One of the critical tasks of stitching images is to register the position of each image to another with so called control points. hugin works with a plug-in for that. The most popular are autopano and autopano-SIFT.
blending
Once the images are registered in space and warped by panotools, the seams are still visible and need to be blended. Again, hugin works with a plug-in for that. The most popular is Enblend
RAW conversions / HDR / tonemapping / other digital photo techniques
Panorama creation presents some unique challenges to the standard image processing workflow in modern digital photography.
- lens distorsions and their effect on RAW conversion.
- higher dynamic range across the image.
freepv panorama viewer
The resulting images are 2D, but a full spherical 360°x180° panorama can be reprojected to create a VR. There are a number of technologies to view VR and freepv is an effort to build a universal viewer
Community Backing
This organization is supported and endorsed by these people and organizations.
History
Organization
We have successfully applied as mentoring organization
Student's Application Process
We helped students apply successfully.
- Deadline: March 24
- join the mailing list
- read Applicants Guide and check if you qualify.
- prepare the answers to [2]
- read below about our software universe.
- read the projects ideas.
- if you have an idea that is not listed there, please propose it to the mailing list.
- if you see an idea there that you like, take ownership of it.
- Contact the mentioned mentor and/or the mailing list if no mentor is mentioned.
- refine the idea, add detail, describe what you intend to do and how, work with your mentor and with the steering committee at fleshing your project out so that Google's Open Source Program Office will accept it.
- on the idea page add a short bio, motivate why you are interested in taking up that particular idea, your relationship to panorama making in general and to hugin in particular.
- apply to Google before March 24. We will do our outmost to help you to a successful application.
- if your application is accepted by Google, be ready to submit a detail work plan with the sub-tasks of your project and the time you intend to allocate to each of them. We will help you shape that too.
