Ideas for Bootcamp

A few ideas for computer-vision related things that can be done for the bootcamp:

• Read QR codes in an Image (takes an cv::Mat as input) using zlib or similar
• Compare two binary cv::Mats (binary as in a thresholded CV_8U cv::Mat (see here for details) with values of either 0 or 255 for each pixel) and return the percentage overlap
• Read the timestamp from an image file using exiv2
• Convert the location of a given pixel in an image to GPS co-ordinates given the GPS co-ordinates of the centre of the image, heading of the image, altitude the image was taken at and field of view of the camera that took the picture.
• Write a Histogram-based Image segmentation algorithm (ideally doing faster segmentation than kmeans as included in OpenCV; the idea being that creating a histogram is trivially fast and the colours to segment can be identified by analyzing the peaks and troughs in the histogram). (a bit more complicated than the others, but if you want a challenge, you don't have to write tests for this one, but make sure it's at least vaguely sane and manually test on images)
