Hello, My name is Robert Sasu and I study Computer Science at Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Romania. I would like to participate to GSoC 2011 and I found the Adaptive Image cloning project interesting. I have strong background in C/C++ and C# programming, algorithms and I have also done some projects with image filtering. I really like mathematics:I recently participated to SEEMOUS(seemous.eu) and I earned a silver medal. I compiled Gimp from Git and looked over the coding style and the algorithms used by gimp. I've read about the mean value interpolation, starting from the mvclone pdf and then searching in google for more explanation. I would like to now how important is this project for you and what your requirements and expectations from the students applying? Do you want to implement the mean value interpolation algorithm or you want to finish the Laplacian method used by gimp? I think in the implementation of one of this algorithm we should use the selection tools from gimp and for the healing certain brush elements. If it is possible we could also implement Matlab(Octave) code for increasing the performance of calculating pixel values. It would be also possible to add another aspect by letting the user choose a border within he/she wants the inserting(the interpolation). It would be easy to implement MVC matting to help the user and then giving him the chace to put the selected part of one image in the other.
Thank you, Robert Sasu
