Student Proposals: Student info and short project synopsis, with link to a new Wiki page where the project is expanded in full detail. See template below:

MO Faruque Sarker: Handling very large images using VIPS

  • A second year PhD student at U of Wales, Newport under Robotic Intelligence Lab (my homepage at: http://ril.newport.ac.uk/sarker/index.php).
  • Coding Platform: Ubuntu 8.10 x64, Pentium 4 3GHz, 32GB RAM
  • I'm interested to work in processing large images in Hugin. We have got a 16 mega-pixel Prosilica GE4900C CCD camera for tracking about 30 mobile robots. It gives about 50MB image file per frame using a huge memory. I'm running my tracking algorithm on Ubuntu 8.10 x64 and got some nice results of tracking markers (http://ril.newport.ac.uk/sarker/index.php?pid=21).

Lukáš Jirkovský

León Moctezuma: QuickTimeVR Playback in VLC

Dev Ghosh: Mosaic Mode for Hugin/Panotools

Yulia Kotseruba: Straight-line detection for automated lens calibration

Mokhtar M. Khorshid: Accounting for Camera Movements

  • Holder of B.S. in Computer Science & Mathematics from AUC (top of my class) and starting my master studies in Computer Science.
  • Coding Platform: Vista 64-bit (as well as Windows XP 32-bit Professional & Ubuntu 8.10 on secondary machines), Quad Core 2.4 GHz, 6GB RAM, 8800 GTS graphics card, Visual Studio 2005/2008 .NET (in addition to Eclipse + GCC).
  • Coding skills: Expert in C++ (10+ years), seasoned algorithm designer (ACM programming contestant that ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in various national and regional contests), I have experience with Computer graphics, OpenGL, and wxWidgets. Last year I participated in GSoC and built the wxWallCtrl, check an unofficial binary sample here: [1]. I am familiar with SVN, Perforce, and SourceSafe and most bug tracking systems.
  • I am the lead software architect of the I2B game project ([2])
  • Accounting for Camera Movements
  • My GSoC proposal link is [3]. We are currently discussing concrete requirements since task may be altered.
