Idea The idea is to create complex image processing chain using the OSSIM python bindings pyossim. This includes adding python inteface for all the ossim-executables (ossim-igen, ossim-orthoigen, ossim-mosaic, ...). The work will add 'numpy-array' capabilities into pyossim as exchanging formast to include python-gdal and pyOpenCV to solve image processing problems for under water images processing (develop methods for : Bayer Demosaicing, Light detrend, color correction on raw tiff CCD images).

For testing purpose, raw CCD images and relative camera metadata (focal length, distance from the ground, roll, pitch, gain etc..) from the Habcam project will be used.

Week 1 Report

What did you get done this week?

• Compiled ossim,ossimPlanet from trunk sucessfully. But disabled ossimPredator and gpstk.
• studied ossim plugin mechanism.
• setup wiki page and repository in bitbucket.

What do you plan on doing next week?

• Learn ossim opencv-plugin. How an OpenCV Image is read in ossimImageSource.
• I will learn ossim libraw plugin as most of my data is in .raw format
• start demosaicing algorithm for habcam images.

Are you blocked on anything?

• As of now nothing can be said as blocking but OpenCV GPU is something new to me and need to read more about it.
• ossimPredator uses outdate ffmpeg libs.
• ossimPlanet is not working with OSG 3.x. Need to downgrade OSG for making ossimPlanet work.

Week 2 Report

What did you get done this week?

• OpenCV plugin has been studied. As of now trunk version has some CV filters implemented.
• Finished with ossim libraw plugin. Learned how ossim handles a new data type using plugin.
• I spent more time in understanding how the bayesian filter works.(theory part is done)

What do you plan on doing next week?

• I will concentrate more on debayer this week after getting a raw file from WoodsHole.
• There will be changes in implementation based on the metadata of the raw file.
• Planning to build a demosaciking plugin for habcam images.

Are you blocked on anything?

• Yes, I am waiting to get some .raw data from habcam group.
• Massimo had requested for data and metadata and we are expecting a response by tomorrow.
