Ideally, you could work to replace the old i.orthophoto with new tools built in Python and wxPython to incorporate into the current GRASS development. This would be greatly appreciated by many.
IMHO, and as someone who is not trained formally in programming, Python is easy to learn and is quite powerful. The wxPython tool set provides a wide array of event-driven interface building tools that integrates tightly with the object-oriented Python language. There are many good introductory and advanced books for Python, as well as a lot of on-line help. AFAIK, there is only 1 book for wxPython, though a decent amount of help on-line.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"Hi Peng,
I want to make a new function, I want to put the orthoretification mathematical theory that I have in any programming language, but I am lost. The last program that I wrote was 8 years ago in VBasic. The criteria for choosing python is that Python looks to me more easy to learn. And the idea of using CUDA is to develop a concept.
