GSOC introduction: Dynamic time warping
Hello everyone, My name is Michael Mueller and I am a first-year math and computer science major at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Last year, I participated in GSOC with AstroPy <http://www.astropy.org/>, an open-source astronomy library in Python. My project involved writing a C/Cython text file reader (and writer) to increase the speed of ASCII capabilities in `astropy.io.ascii`. My blog from the summer is viewable here <http://muellergsoc.blogspot.com/>. This year, having used scikit-image recently for image processing as part of a research project, I'm interested in submitting a proposal to work with scikit-image on the dynamic time warping project. While I have no previous knowledge of dynamic time warping, I found a nice introduction <http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/9783540740...> to the subject and am excited to read more about it. Any other references I should take a look at? I also noticed that the GSOC page <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/wiki/GSoC-2015> mentions that students should have a solid PR merged, which I plan to start. Are there any particular issues that might be good to tackle, or any good entry points to get used to the scikit-image code base? Cheers, Michael

Thanks for the introduction and for your interest! I would very much like to see a good implementation of DTW in skimage. On the GSoC page, there are two references available--the R dtw paper is a good place to start.

No specific issues come to mind; I'd suggest browsing the issues list on GitHub and picking some low hanging fruit. You don't need to implement anything major, we just want to work with you, doing code review etc., so that we know one another a bit better by the time the GSoC applications roll in.
