Hi,

I am an Undergrad student at IIIT-H <http://iiit.ac.in/>, India. I wanted
to take part in GSoC 2014 and was searching for projects which interests
me. For the past year, I have been using Qt in my B. Tech project. I have
worked on CUDA during my internship at CERN.

About my projects:


   -

   Error Detection and Error Correction for Indian Languages - Statistical
   models for error detection and correction is not suitable for Indian
   Languages as huge corpus is not available for them. A system based on the
   idea that errors and mistakes follows a pattern is being designed. It is a
   learning system which dynamically implements a weighted distance. Tools
   Used: C++, SRILM, Java, Crawler4j
   -

   Book Reader for Blind - Working to develop a system which will help
   blind people read books, in their local language, using a scanner. It
   involves interactive GUI development, image processing, and mobile app
   development. Tools Used: C++, Qt, Android SDK
   -

   Optimization and Parallelization of AliRoot (during CERN
internship)-AliRoot is ALICE's offline simulation tool. The project
was to do memory
   and performance optimization using various tools and  scripts developed
   under this project. The project also involved working on CUDA-based
   parallel version of Hough Transform used for track reconstruction. Tools
   Used: Valgrind, CUDA, Python, C++
   -

   Triggers and Reactors using DataPath - Using DataPath, Amazon's own
   technology, implemented and deployed triggers on their databases. It
   involved learning a completely different technology with minimal resources.
   This was done during internship at Amazon.com. It also involved maintaining
   team's section of pipeline. Tools Used: Java and many Amazon's internal
   tools & technologies
   -

   Reverse Image Search Engine - The idea of the project is to build an
   Image-based Search Engine which can retrieve images similar to the query
   image. Images are represented in form of visual words extracted using
   different scale and rotation invariant features. An Inverted index is
   created for faster retrieval. Tools Used: Matlab, Image Processing Libraries
   - *Graphics API Design - *Developed an OpenGL like graphics API having
   Graphics pipeline functions from modeling, viewing to viewport clipping.



   - *Image Processing - *Implemented Image Processing Algorithms like Edge
   Detection, Template Matching, Image Compression, Histogram Algorithms, etc.
   using Matlab and C++.



   - *Implemented - *Carrom game, Spider Shooting game and a 3D
   Rail/Station model with 6 degree camera using OpenGL


My complete Skill Set:
GNU/C++, Java, CUDA, Erlang, Scheme, Python, Basic Shell (Bash),
AliRoot, MySQL,
MS-Access, Web2py, HTML/XHTML, PHP, Javascript(basic), Drupal, CSS, Socket
Programming, JSP, HTML5, CSS 3, Matlab, Octave, Qt, Android SDK, OpenGL,
Glade, Pthreads, OpenMP, OpenCV.

As you can see from my work that my interests extend to various topics. I
don't want to miss out a project where I could have contributed more.
Hence, I ask for help to discuss and form a proposal which can be
beneficial to me as well. I generally include a new technology in every
project I work. Hoping to do the same this time also.
