I am currently pursuing MS by Research in the field of computer vision and image processing at IIIT- Hyderabad, India. I am interested in working for Processing org this summer in a GSoC project.
Some of my own ideas:
a)
Interactive Poisson Image Editing
Image editing tasks concern either global changes (color/intensity corrections, filters, deformations) or local changes concerned to a selection. Here we are interested in achieving local changes, ones that are restricted to a region manually selected (ROI), in a seamless and effortless manner. The extent of the changes ranges from slight distortions to complete replacement by novel content. Examples:Inserting objects, Color Transfer, Feature Exchange, Texture Flattening, Local illumination changes, etc.
Visually important image features often disappear when color images are converted to grayscale. This algorithm reduces such losses by attempting to preserve the salient features of the color image. The Color2Gray results offer viewers salient information missing from previous grayscale image creation methods.
c)
Domain Transform for Edge-Aware Image Processing (Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering)
The processing involves high-quality edge-preserving filtering of images (better than bilateral filter).
The filter is applied on several image processing tasks including edge-preserving smoothing,
Depth-of-field effects, stylization, detail enhancement, edge enhancement and gray/color pencil sketch.
