[hugin-ptx] GSoC 2011 Student Introduction

2011-04-08 Thread onomou
Hi all,

My name is Steven Williams and I am in my fourth year studying
mathematics at Walla Walla University. I just saw the GSoC advert and
thought Hugin would be a fun thing to work on this summer. I have been
using the program for a few years now and have a Canon Digital Rebel
XTi. Several of my panoramas are up on Panoramio (http://
www.panoramio.com/user/619377). Some of the other pictures there also
used Hugin for alignment with multiple exposures (the barn is a good
example of this). I also have a Flickr photostream (http://
www.flickr.com/photos/onomou/)

For my coding skills, I am quite proficient at TI Basic (which I
started learning in high school :), and have been writing programs in c
++ for about three years. I also know a smattering of c# and Java, and
have been playing around with Processing recently. I have experience
on both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu mostly).

I would really like to work on a new straight line tool as outlined on
the wiki (http://wiki.panotools.org/Straight_Line_UI_proposal). For my
senior math seminar I wrote an interactive program in c++ and SDL to
render IFS fractals, and it required a similar approach for inputting
layout and control boxes. It's up on GitHub now (https://github.com/
onomou/ifsFractalGen). This tool sounds like something both fun and
doable for me in the given time this summer.

About a year ago I managed to compile Hugin, and am in the process of
doing it again, though it might not get done until tomorrow.

I look forward to your replies. Thanks!

Steven Williams
Walla Walla University

Awesome!

I for one am happy to hear that someone is interested in working on vertical 
line detection. I review tons of panos (stitched by hundreds of people all 
over the world) every day, and lots of them are not level. This task is 
currently quite difficult and non-intuitive for people, and it's the most 
common error with panos that are otherwise stitched ok. It will be cool when 
I can point them to Hugin to stitch level panos more easily :-)

cheers,
Jeffrey

[hugin-ptx] GSOC 2011 Student Introduction

2011-03-25 Thread Florian Achleitner
Dear Hugin-Community!

Congratulations for the successful GSOC application. 
Some of you might remember me from last year. I participated in GSOC
2010 and implemented the makefilelib [1] excellently mentored by Thomas
Modes. Btw, I'm very happy to see my code in the current releases :)

This semester I'm participating in rather intensive computer vision and
computer graphics courses.
When I followed the blueprint collection on the mailing list and
launchpad I got interested in the vertical-line-horizon-detector
blueprint [1]. It could give me the chance to use the courses content
beyond examples and exercises.
The blueprint says there exists already some work on that. Is it
somewhere in the repo?

Here is a little general introduction, mostly copied from last year's.
My name is Florian Achleitner I'm 
from Austria and studying Telematics (a blend of computer science and 
electric engineering) at the Graz University of Technology. 
Currently I'm in the third year of my studies, before starting my 
studies I worked for four years as a developer in industry. 
My programming experience grew since I started writing programs on TI 
calculators in school probably 15 years ago. 
From my work and university experience I'm familiar with C, C++, 
Python, Makefiles, Java,  Shell Scripts.. (sorted by experience). 
I'm open-source enthusiast, exclusivly using Linux since years and 
administrating a linux web-file-mail-server. 
Since many years I'm interested in digital photography. My camera is a 
Konica Minolta Dimage Z5, which is no longer new or good unfortunately, 
but provides advanced capture modes. I don't have any special panorama 
equipment.
