JuliaImages (see the documentation) is a framework in Julia for multidimensional arrays, image processing, and computer vision (CV). It has an active development community and offers many features that unify CV and biomedical 3D/4D image processing, support big data, and promote interactive exploration.
Often the best ideas are the ones that candidate SoC contributors come up with on their own. We are happy to discuss such ideas and help you refine your proposal. Below are some potential project ideas that might help spur some thoughts. In general, anything that is missing in JuliaImages, and worths three-months' development can be considered as potential GSoC ideas. See the bottom of this page for information about mentors.
Difficulty: Medium (175h) (High priority)
JuliaImages provides high-quality implementations of many algorithms; however, as yet there is no set of benchmarks that compare our code against that of other image-processing frameworks. Developing such benchmarks would allow us to advertise our strengths and/or identify opportunities for further improvement. See also the OpenCV project below.
Benchmarks for several performance-sensitive packages (e.g., ImageFiltering, ImageTransformations, ImageMorphology, ImageContrastAdjustment, ImageEdgeDetection, ImageFeatures, and/or ImageSegmentation) against frameworks like Scikit-image and OpenCV, and optionally others like ITK, ImageMagick, and Matlab/Octave. See also the image benchmarks repository.
This task splits into at least two pieces:
developing frameworks for collecting the data, and
visualizing the results.
One should also be aware of the fact that differences in implementation (which may include differences in quality) may complicate the interpretation of some benchmarks.
Skills: JuliaImages experiences is required. Some familiarities with other image processing frameworks is preferred.
