I was looking the project on text detection up on GSOC this year. I'm immensely interested in the field of machine learning and computer vision. I recently completed a course on machine learning on coursera offered by the stanford university. I just wanted to know what the pre requisites are for this text detection project, i.e., what I should know before I can start reading the papers on Real-time scene text localization and recognition and also the one on stroke width transformation.

Please have a look in the mailing list archive for my answer to another similar query. The best way to know whether you are missing prior knowledge is to start reading the paper. Also, to contribute to GSoC we'll need to work on some pull requests together beforehand. Regards Stéfan
