Hi, I created a pull request just now. Link to the pull request is here<https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/916>. Please review the code. Changes: 1. Use a regex to check if the given path is a url. 2. In the case of url, fetch the image file from the link. 3. Otherwise check if file exists on the system and fetch. Neeraj

Help needed with bug in quicker_sort
by Stéfan van der Walt 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hi everyone We are almost ready to release 0.10, but a serious blocker is that quicker_sort segfaults under OSX. If there is anyone here with the necessary know-how to track this down, please get in touch. I can provide you with shell access on an OSX machine if that would help. Please see https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/issues/835 Thanks Stéfan

I started sketching out an IPython notebook for a talk, but I didn't get too far (see attached). I also have a tutorial proposal from last year that I've attached. There might be some useful bits in some of it.

I am submitting a science talk proposal *and* writing up grant apps, *but* I was really looking forward to this so I'll try to get something in. If someone (Emmanuelle?) has some pre-existing materials, that would be helpful! =) Juan.

Stéfan, Johannes, Guillaume, Do we have a template from last year? If not, any ideas on what you want to include in it? Juan. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marina Zhurakhinskaya <marinazik(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Mar 9, 2014 at 8:32 AM Subject: [GSoC Mentors] application template field now available To: Google Summer of Code Mentors List < google-summer-of-code-mentors-list(a)googlegroups.com> Hi, I noticed that the application template field, which was not previously available, is now available under My Dashboard -> Managed Organizations -> [Your Org Name] -> Preferences. Admins might like to fill it out before the application submissions open on Monday. For those interested in an example, you can see GNOME's application template at http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org2/google/gsoc2014/gnome Cheers, Marina -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Summer of Code Mentors List" group.

It's looking less likely that I'll be able to attend, so unfortunately I won't be able to do it this time around. Regards Stéfan

Re: Face detection
by Esteban Pardo 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Hi! I have some questions regarding this project: Do you want to stick with OpenCVs alternative (center and tilted features; adaboost of decision trees) or is it ok to explore other alternatives? If you prefer a different (maybe newer) approach, then: How much of the original Viola-Jones object detector you want? The title of this thread is "Face detection" so if you just want face detection there are some papers that extend the original algorithm putting the stress on that topic. If you want to have a Viola-Jones generalistic object detection framework we should stick close to the original formulation (use other features [variations to the integral image computation] and other ensemble algorithms [I've seen SVMs too]). In the case you want a generalistic object detection framework, and don't want to stick with Viola-Jones approach; What do you prefer, efficiency or performace? There are some newer methods like pictorial structures that perform good with articulated objects too like the human body but may not be suited (depending on how many parts and which appearance and deformation parameters you chose) for real time applications. Either way, my current area of research is detection of articulated objects and I've just opened an issue ( *https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/issues/904)* on GitHub to know if you want some work towards that direction. I can implement the generalized distance transform now, and leave for the summer the rest of the code. Or just implement the generalized distance transform now (if you want to implement some recursive, energy minimization algorithm in an efficient way you will use it; plus its a good way to show my skills) and discuss what would be the best approach for this project.
