Dear PMC, I am writing to request a sandbox site be established for a proposed commons sub-project, commons-filter .
The library will consist of widely used basic methods for signal and image processing. As suits commons protocols the dependencies are only the Java API and commons-math . We have two initial core contributors to commons-filter, Bernd Porr (contributor) and Eric Barnhill (committer). Sufficient code for commons-filter has already been developed, tested, and integrated into maven. Both contributors are professionals in the field of signal and image processing. The library will further integrate the Kalman filter found in commons-math and may include some future contributions to round out the library. I believe this project to be well suited to the commons mission. Please contact me with any questions about this proposal and we invite anyone on the list with an interest in signal processing to contribute code or expertise. Best, Eric Barnhill
