I am willing to work on one of the projects on the ideas page, however
I would be most effective, as you know,
in working with a SIP or image processing related project. One idea
I've already detailed for GSOC would be to interface the Leptonica C
library (from Google) with Scilab

http://wiki.nosdigitais.teia.org.br/GSoC#SIP

There are also many other ideas for improving SIP. One of them is to
add more OpenCV functionality, beyond the simple ones I've already
added recently. The other would be

I could also work on a project related to improving the GUI for more
interactive plot editing. I have already posted on this before.
Basically, improving tooltip functionality, and actual adding/deleting
of plot elements, inspecting values, etc, both in 2D and 3D. This
basically means treating the scilab graphic window as a vector
graphics, through an editing interface, and then being able to get the
data back in scilab. This idea can also specialize to the case of
image display. We want a fast image display, but also a flexible one,
where pixels can be inspected, edited, and displayed with custom
markers, all of which are very useful for developing and debugging
imaging algorithms. A powerful interactive GUI is what

However, as I said, I can help mentor one of the projects in the ideas
page. Most notably:

- QHull interface
- PDE module
- PDF generation
- CUBLAS and other CUDA features
- contextual menus, progress bar
- Graphic I/O of vtk, protobuf, etc

 Let me know which of these I should go for.

Best,
Ricardo.
