[GRASS-dev] Applying for GSoC - Image Segmentation

Hi,

My name is sandeep and i am doing my MS by Research in Spatial Informatics at IIIT-Hyderabad. I am a good programmer and a quick learner. This is the first time i am applying for GSoC.

Actually, my MS work is OBIA (Object Based Image Analysis) with watershed segmentation. Though the work is mainly with watershed, i learned about several other segmentation algorithms(Region growing,mean shift etc.).

I went through the GSoC-2013 ideas page and thought that the image segmentation idea is quite apt for me to work on. That way i can participate in GSoC and contribute to the software i daily use.

Kindly let me know if someone is working on this idea or can i have a chance to work on this idea.

Thank you,
Sandeep,

There is an existing algorithm from the last year's GSoC:
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/i.segment.html

but it could be further enhanced as outlined in
http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_SoC_Ideas_2013#Imagery

Yes, I think it is important to note that what we are looking for mostly at this stage is to use the results of segmentation for object-based classification. A possible option might be to implement more segmentation algorithms (at the moment we only have region growing), but in my eyes this is less of a priority.
