| 14:04:34 | tclarke | please review https://opticks.balldayton.com/cometwiki/15Dec2008 |
| 14:04:38 | tclarke | and let me know if there are any problems |
| 14:04:43 | tclarke | I'll wait a minute |
| 14:05:04 | tclarke | also review the meeting notes from the special meeting https://opticks.balldayton.com/cometwiki/17Dec2008 |
| 14:05:54 | tclarke | I'll assume everything is ok and accept the meeting notes...as usual, if you find something later, let me know |
| 14:06:00 | kstreith | looks good to me |
| 14:06:16 | *** | dadkins (dadkins!n=kvirc@12.188.157.129) has joined #opticks |
| 14:06:20 | tclarke | today is primarily going to be a brain storming session for summer of code and intern appropriate projects |
| 14:06:22 | dadkins | mostly here |
| 14:06:49 | tclarke | these should be ideas that are not generally being worked directly |
| 14:07:16 | tclarke | they should be reasonably standalone so someone can work on them for a while without significant intermediate merges |
| 14:07:42 | tclarke | and they should be reasonable for an opticks newbie (but an experianced C++ programmer) to handle in about 3 months |
| 14:07:57 | tclarke | I've put a few ideas here https://opticks.balldayton.com/cometwiki/SummerOfCode2009 |
| 14:08:24 | tclarke | lets start with a brainstorm...shout out ideas, provide construvtive additions and related ideas |
| 14:08:36 | tclarke | but don't analyze ideas in depth |
| 14:08:52 | kstreith | automatic geo-reference on import |
| 14:08:58 | tclarke | I'll start by repeating a couple I've already put on that page |
| 14:09:19 | tclarke | drag and drop, etc. interface to create and modify views and layers |
| 14:09:42 | tclarke | a "porthole" tool which hides the top layer over a small area (similar to the zoom inset) |
| 14:09:58 | tclarke | a microsoft ribbon type interface instead of a menu/toolbar interface |
| 14:10:29 | rforehan | algorithm pattern that provides CUDA support |
| 14:10:37 | tclarke | basic image processing operations such as morphological operations, convolution filters, FFT analysis, wavelet analysis |
| 14:10:56 | tclarke | related to CUDA would be OpenCL |
| 14:11:11 | tclarke | which is the new vendon neutral CUDA-like system |
| 14:11:26 | tclarke | a coverage viewer which shows coverage of data sets in a globe/map display |
| 14:11:37 | tclarke | better KML export and KML import |
| 14:11:39 | rforehan | data accessor that provides a moving kernal |
| 14:11:59 | dadkins | google earth plug-in |
| 14:12:07 | tclarke | improved wizard gui |
| 14:12:09 | rforehan | draping imagery over 3-d terrian model |
| 14:12:38 | tclarke | basic wizard scripting for looping/conditionals |
| 14:13:06 | tclarke | better testbed integration with plugins (i.e. improved class Testable) |
| 14:13:27 | tclarke | wizard "recording" |
| 14:13:37 | tclarke | ICE "product" exporter |
| 14:13:43 | tclarke | ICE view/layer export |
| 14:13:49 | kstreith | support for Web Feature Service (WFS) and Web Coverage Service (WCS) |
| 14:13:53 | tclarke | ICE preview chips |
| 14:14:57 | tclarke | redo the rendering pipeline to be more modular |
| 14:15:22 | tclarke | more use of GPU in the pipeline (for exmaple, Cg to calculate statistics) |
| 14:15:23 | rforehan | product view as web page |
| 14:15:40 | tclarke | custom layers |
| 14:15:59 | tclarke | streaming data support (i.e. no prior knowledge of number of frames) |
| 14:16:02 | tclarke | full color video |
| 14:16:25 | tclarke | improved, fully pluggable user help |
| 14:16:49 | tclarke | allow certain DataElements to be read-only or hidden |
| 14:17:10 | tclarke | improved brightness contrast gui |
| 14:17:38 | tclarke | improved progress reporting framework (more like StepResource) |
| 14:18:14 | rforehan | Do we even want to mention session save? |
| 14:18:15 | tclarke | load plug-ins and support data from an aeb/zip instead of separate files on the file system |
| 14:18:27 | tclarke | I think that's too big for a 3 month intern |
| 14:18:36 | dadkins | rforehan: or removal thereof |
| 14:18:53 | tclarke | that last response was to rforehan |
| 14:18:54 | kstreith | support for another os/platform |
| 14:19:03 | tclarke | like what? |
| 14:19:09 | tclarke | linux |
| 14:19:13 | tclarke | solaris x86 |
| 14:19:13 | kstreith | mac os, solaris x86 |
| 14:19:46 | kstreith | keep in mind that we need some "sexy" projects, the kind of projects that get college kids excited |
| 14:19:48 | tclarke | view based coordinates |
| 14:20:05 | tclarke | sar plug-ins |
| 14:20:20 | tclarke | video processing plugins (background suppression, etc.) |
| 14:20:29 | rforehan | lidar plug-ins |
| 14:20:29 | tclarke | LIDAR/LADAR algorithms |
| 14:20:46 | tclarke | feature recognition algorithms |
| 14:21:14 | tclarke | multi-source data fusion algorithms |
| 14:21:45 | kstreith | performance improvements |
| 14:23:04 | kstreith | tear-out window support (i.e. the ability to pull windows out of the MDI and change them over to top-level windows and vice-versa) |
| 14:23:12 | tclarke | implement voxel-based 3-d world generation for change detection/object tracking that Joe Mundy developed |
| 14:25:00 | tclarke | add new hyperspectral algorithms |
| 14:25:04 | rforehan | Is Chuck Wamsley in loop on Summer of Code projects? |
| 14:25:14 | tclarke | not sure...anyone on dev@opticks is |
| 14:25:20 | tclarke | not sure if he follows |
| 14:25:36 | kstreith | he has not been directly contacted to my knowledge |
| 14:25:57 | tclarke | there's the pattern of: choose cool PE/RS algorithm you've seen and implement it |
| 14:26:00 | rforehan | Seems the R&D guys should be involved - probably have some good ideas. |
| 14:26:09 | tclarke | can work for pretty much any discipline as we load data from most |
| 14:26:37 | tclarke | students are more likely to follow the latest and greatest algorithms as many are coming out of universities |
| 14:26:41 | kstreith | rforehan - i agree |
| 14:26:56 | tclarke | I'll copy them on the meeting followup email |
| 14:27:08 | tclarke | they can follow the wiki and dev list if they want to be in the loop |
| 14:27:42 | tclarke | ok...seems we are slowing down...I'll leave the brainstorming open for another minute of so |
| 14:31:03 | tclarke | alright...anyone have follow ups or discussion on anything mentioned so far? |
| 14:31:55 | tclarke | we'll be able to take the discussion offline (wiki/dev@opticks) so everyone can have time to think some more |
| 14:32:18 | tclarke | but I'll keep the meeting open for a couple of minutes longer in case someone wants to hold a discussion now |
| 14:34:08 | tclarke | ok, let's consider this meeting finished |
| 14:34:15 | tclarke | notes will be in the usual place |
| 14:34:27 | tclarke | next meeting in January 12, 2009 |
| 14:34:45 | tclarke | feel free to continue discussion of SOC projects offline |
