Hi Alex! Thanks for writing and welcome!
I hate to be discouraging, but from my perspective, I would be cautious about accepting this in scikit-image. My initial reaction to your email was very positive, but after a cursory skim of the paper I thought that it seemed like a pretty complicated algorithm, and most of the highly cited citations were survey papers, rather than cool applications.
This isn’t a straight no, just that I would want to see a recent, complete application of the algorithm that I would find compelling enough. Then we could turn that into a gallery example, which would point users to this algorithm. Otherwise, I fear that it would languish and struggle to find future maintainers. There are a couple of parts of the library like this already, and they are a significant burden.
I’m just one person though, and feel free to try to convince me otherwise!
Juan.
Hello all,
I am new to this mailing list and would like to contribute the Fast Radial Symmetry Transform algorithm described in this paper:
Loy, Gareth, and Alexander Zelinsky. "Fast radial symmetry for detecting points of interest." IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis & Machine Intelligence 8 (2003): 959-973
This paper has over 600 citations, and I could not find this implemented with any image processing libraries. I have Python and Cython code I can contribute if this of interest to any of the other members. I will have to make some modifications to meet guidelines, but wanted to see initial thoughts from other members first.
Thanks,
Alex
