GSoC meeting notes

[Stefan van der Walt]

29/05/2015, VB, SW, DP 

Daniil has been working on an implementation of Multiblock LBP. 
The code is currently linked to his blog post:

http://warmspringwinds.github.io/gsoc/2015/05/29/google-summer-of-code-multi-block-local-binary-patterns-implementation.-pure-python/

He will update the code with a gallery example and do a PR.

So far, his MLBP implementation uses the same API as OpenCV so 
that it can be directly plugged in to their face recognition 
infrastructure for testing.  We are not tied to their API, but it 
is convenient to use for now.

DP will continue working on the rest of the object identification 
pipeline this week, but may return to MLBP later to convert it to 
Cython (if profiling shows that it is necessary).
 
Next week's deliverables:  - First step of the pre-trained OpenCV 
algorithm on DP’s Multiblock-LBP Start on training module in 
Python  Deliverables:  - Results of plugging MLBP into OpenCV - 
Pull request with MLBP + gallery example
- Some updates to MLBP code requested by VB and SW

Other notes:

- DP will investigate whether he can get funding to attend
