[SciPy-Dev] GSoC 2014 : Discrete Wavelet Transforms in Scipy

[Ankit Agrawal]

Hi everyone,

           I am Ankit Agrawal, a 4th year student enrolled in a Dual Degree
program(Bachelors + Masters) in Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay. My
Masters specialization is in Communication and Signal Processing, with
focus in Machine Learning and Computer Vision.

           I would like to work on integrating PyWavelets in scipy.signal
and then adding more features as mentioned on the ideas
page<https://github.com/scipy/scipy/wiki/GSoC-project-ideas#wiki-discrete-wavelet-transforms>.
I participated in GSoC 2013 with scikit-image where I implemented some
Feature Detectors like FAST, Censure(STAR) and Binary Feature Descriptors
like BRIEF, ORB and FREAK(in progress). The relevant courses that I have
taken in the past are Image Processing, Machine Learning, Computer Vision,
Speech Processing, NLP, Wavelets and Filter Banks*, Probabilistic Graphical
Models*, Wireless & Mobile Communications* etc.(* - taken this semester).
My open source contributions can be seen here<https://github.com/ankit-maverick>
.

           I will get started by fixing some small issues in scipy by this
weekend. I haven't used PyWavelets before, but me and my group members are
going to use it in the coming weeks in an application assignment for the
Wavelets course, which I will try to take as an opportunity to look into
its codebase. I would also like to discuss
features<https://github.com/scipy/scipy/wiki/GSoC-project-ideas#wiki-discrete-wavelet-transforms>to
be implemented and some related
tickets <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/issues/602> in detail
once I start writing proposal in the next week. If there are other things
that I should take a look at, please let me know. Thanks.

Regards,
Ankit Agrawal,
Communication and Signal Processing,
IIT Bombay.
