I went through the functions list and my first point of understanding was that the following functions will be nice to be worked into:
in raster functions: r.terraflow, r.walk,r.watershed,r.water.outlet. in image functions: The most obvious one I saw was i.fft and i.ifft. An extension of which would be i.zc. I went through Yann's recommendation on i.atcorr, and went through the research paper corresponding to it, Since the concept is new to me, it is possible that I might end up picking the brains of the mentor. Also beyond parallel, I will be fine with network tool kit also. Is it an active project?. Whatever happens to my GSOC application, I will be more than happy to work with the developer team at GRASS.
