Sir/Mam,<br>
<br>
I am a sophomore student pursuing Computer Science and Engineering (C.S.E)<br>
from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara. I am well adapt<br>
with concepts of Deep Learning, Image Processing & AI and am currently<br>
working on a few research topics in the same domain. I have adequate<br>
experience in machine learning and Signal / Image processing (completed a<br>
few deep learning based projects ) and am currently pursuing some research<br>
problems in Satellite Imaging (Hyper-spectral data analysis) and processing<br>
SAR images.<br>
<br>
Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize to you for contacting you via<br>
the mailing list this late. Please forgive me for misinterpreting the<br>
process for new project ideas for participating in GSoC 2018 for Haskell<br>
organization. Actually, I tried to communicate my interest for 'Summer of<br>
Haskell' program (I was unaware at that time that it was only for years<br>
when Haskell didn't participate in GSoC) to the general committee<br>
(*<a href="mailto:committee@haskell.org">committee@haskell.org</a><br>
<<a href="mailto:committee@haskell.org">committee@haskell.org</a>>*) from where George Wilson sir directed me towards<br>
Alp and Jared sir and then I got in touch with Alexey sir.<br>
<br>
The project that I aim to accomplish during the GSoC period is quite<br>
straightforward. I plan to enhance the existing code base of Haskell Image<br>
Processing (HIP) package with some new contemporary algorithms (with a few<br>
state of the art ones). The current version of HIP package has a limited<br>
scope and I plan to manifold the coverage of this library by adding various<br>
algorithms from different classes of image processing in it. I have<br>
discussed this project with Alp, Jared and Alexey sir of whom Alexey sir is<br>
the author of the HIP package. Some algorithms which I plan to implement<br>
include :<br>
<br>
1) Adaptive Histogram Equalization (since Histogram is already implemented)<br>
2) Canny Edge Detection, Contour Extraction<br>
3) Hough transform<br>
4) Gabor filter<br>
5) Deconvolution<br>
6) Otsu Thresholding method<br>
7) Dithering (Floyd - Steinberg)<br>
8) Un - implemented filters (HOG, LOG etc.)<br>
9) Fingerprint (i.e Biometric) Detection.<br>
<br>
I feel that this project is doable within the summer period and that it can<br>
be a great addition to the Haskell organization since firstly, It would<br>
expand the scope of the library and increase the user base of Haskell and<br>
secondly, no other functional programming languages (including Clojure, Elm<br>
etc.) have a decent image processing library and hence it can be a very<br>
good chance for Haskell to be an obvious choice of developers looking<br>
forward to implement Computer vision problems with some functional<br>
programming language. I have had an discussion with Alexey and Jared sir<br>
and they seem to agree that this project can be a really good addition for<br>
our Haskell organization.<br>
<br>
Also, for my technical skills : I do possess the required programming<br>
skills (C++, OpenCV, Python, Haskell (Basics), Tensorflow, Keras (CUDA<br>
framework), Watson API, Matlab) as well as the exposure to open source<br>
platforms such as github. Also, I can provide you with my CV if and when<br>
you say.<br>
<br>
I would be really delighted to know how you feel about this project. Once<br>
again, I am very sorry for contacting this late via the mailing lists and<br>
would like to sincerely request you to go through the project that I am<br>
suggesting and kindly provide your valuable opinions on the same.<br>
<br>
I will happily provide you with further clarifications on the project if<br>
you need any.<br>
Looking forward to hear from you.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Yours sincerely,<br>
Khilan Ravani.<br>

Hi Khilan,<br>
<br>
It sounds like you have everything you need to write up a proposal and<br>
apply at <a href="https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://summerofcode.<wbr>withgoogle.com</a><br>
Google has a guide for writing GSOC proposals here:<br>
