=== Weekly Report 1 (2015, May 31) ===
'''Bonding period:'''

I have configured and built OSSIM in Ubuntu 12.04 OS and tried to built it also in Mac OS.

I have configured, compiled and installed the OpenCV library. 

In accordance with mentors, I have decided the programming language.

I have read the documentation and I have begun to familiarize with some OSSIM plugins.


'''Week 1:'''

WHAT I GET DONE THIS WEEK:

I have prepared the wiki page (http://trac.osgeo.org/ossim/wiki/GSoC_2014) and the Git repository (https://github.com/martidi/OSSIM-GSoC-2014.git) for code hosting.

I have begun to setting up the ossim preferences file, in particular for the ossimopencv_plugin loading.

In accordance with mentors I have begun to see how OSSIM Geocell and the OpenCV library can integrate: I have compiled and installed the ossimopencv_plugin and loaded it in the OSSIM core library in order to analyze how OpenCV is so far used for automatic Tie Points extraction.

I have begun to analyze the ossimRpcModel class.

WHAT I PLAN ON DOING NEXT WEEK:

To solve the problem on which I am stuck.

To complete the ossimRpcModel class analysis.

To test and control implementation efficacy – discuss results with mentors.

SOMETHING ON WHICH I AM BLOCKED:

I have had some problems with satellite imagery loading: it seems that there are some issues for some particular images (e.g. images taken from IKONOS2 and Geoeye) with the ossimRpcModel class; as mentors pointed out this is probably due for some settings in the preferences file.
