• OpenCV_GSOC2010_Application

Student Application for OpenCV-GSoC 2010

All applications to work on OpenCV projects in Google Summer of Code should provide the following information and meet the general requirements.

• Fill out the application below

  • Put subject: OpenCV GSoC2010 Application

  • Send it to (remove the "-delete-"):

    • -delete-opencv-gsoc-2010@-delete-itseez.com

Contact Information

• Please provide:
  • Your name
  • A phone number
  • An email address where we can reach you for daily communication.
• If you have a website that discusses your research, work and/or coding, let us know.

Requirements

• We are looking for people who have strong programming backgrounds, there is no time to "learn on the job".

  • Most of the positions will require advanced ability and experience in C++.

  • There may be some exceptions as noted in the individual projects such as knowledge of Python and/or web programming.
• Most of the projects require knowledge of computer vision techniques. If so, your application will not be accepted if you don't have such experience. These will be stated on the projects ideas page.

Again, you must meet the requirements -- it is not enough to "want" to work on computer vision, we have limited time and so we need people who already have the necessary background. If you lack this background, spend the next year getting the background and apply then, we intend to be back for GSoC 2011.

Sample Code and other skills

• With your application: Please send in some sample code that you are proud of and are prepared to answer questions on.

• If you have other useful skills such as experience with code optimization, or knowledge of SSE, MMX, CUDA etc let us know.
