Project ideas for the Google Summer of Code 2013

Guidelines

Students

These ideas were contributed by developers and users of ITK. If you wish to submit a proposal based on these ideas you should contact the community members identified below to find out more about the idea, get to know the community member that will review your proposal, and receive feedback on your ideas.

The Google Summer of Code program is competitive, and accepted students will usually have thoroughly researched the technologies of their proposed project, been in frequent contact with potential mentors, and ideally have submitted a patch or two to fix bugs in their project (through Gerrit). Kitware makes extensive use of mailing lists, and this would be your best point of initial contact to apply for any of the proposed projects. The mailing lists can be found on the project pages linked in the preceding paragraph. Please see GSoC proposal guidelines for further guidelines on writing your proposal.

Adding Ideas

When adding a new idea to this page, please try to include the following information:

  • A brief explanation of the idea
  • Expected results/feature additions
  • Any prerequisites for working on the project
  • Links to any further information, discussions, bug reports etc
  • Any special mailing lists if not the standard mailing list for ITK
  • Your name and email address for contact (if willing to mentor, or nominated mentor)

Project: Examples for Coders

Brief explanation: The ITKExamples project is an attempt to bring an improved, collaboratively develop code example documentation system to ITK and the broader open source community. The project brings features such as Git version controlled development, easy regression testing, self-contained, downloadable examples, support for multiple language, HTML, PDF, and EPub archives, acknowledgements through nightly-generated web-based rendering of git-stats, an index, and visualization.

Expected results: While the local development capabilities have many advantages, a browser-based contribution system is also desired. This has begun with the vcwebedit Sphinx Javascript extension project, but a Git-patch server that acts as a broker is still needed. 3D web-visualization of the 3D medical images via OpenGL with a project like Xtk is also desirable. Finally, more examples are needed.

Prerequisites: Experience in Javascript, Python, Sphinx, and C++ desired.

Mentor: Matt McCormick (matt dot mccormick at kitware dot com).

Project: Improved ObjectFactory backend with CPPMicroServices

Brief explanation: ITK implements the object factory design pattern to allow the dynamic registration of specialized class implementations. It is currently used to provide the variety of ImageIO classes, but the toolkit could also benefit from broader adoption. There are also limitations in adding new ImageIO classes that live outside the main repository.

Expected results: todo

Prerequisites: Experience in C++, cross-platform development.

Mentor: Matt McCormick (matt dot mccormick at kitware dot com).

Project: X

Brief explanation: This is a placeholder for a project description.

Expected results: Good stuff.

Prerequisites: Experience in C++, some experience with lolcats.

Mentor: Matt McCormick (matt dot mccormick at kitware dot com).
