Hi,

I am Usman and I am looking to apply to GNU Radio for this year's Google
Summer of Code.

I am a final year bachelor student at National University of Science and
Technology, Pakistan. My final year project is on using passive radars for
indoor human motion sensing, during which I have gained extensive
familiarity with USRP B200 and GNU Radio. Currently, I am working on a
machine learning project that uses deep learning (CNN) to detect signal
modulation for 11 modulation schemes. This research is inspired from this
<https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.04105> work with the exception that we are
developing an extensive dataset for various indoor and outdoor environments
and we plan to open source this data in around a week.

As a part of GSOC 2017, I want to mainly extend *gr-radar *and develop
various signal processing modules of impact to users. I will be writing a
detailed proposal in a few days but for now I have the following ideas:

- Computing cross-ambiguity function and providing 3D visualisation
- Adaptive filter implementation to remove the direct transmitted signal in
case of passive radar systems which have reference and surveillance antennas
- Batched cross correlation implementation in real time with overlaps
between batches to ensure continuity
- Angle of arrival estimation (although I recently found out about
https://github.com/kit-cel/gr-specest which does something similar)

I am also very interested in extending the machine learning capabilities of
GNU Radio and create OOT modules that allow users to import models from
*scikit-learn *(such as decision trees and KNNs) and *tensorflow *(such as
CNN and LSTM).

Ideally, I want to implement these signal processing and machine learning
techniques together in a single module as I believe they go hand-in-hand. I
am also open to any other ideas. Please let me know if there is any
feedback as I write the first proposal draft!

Best,
-- Usman
