GRASS SoC Ideas 2013

About

This is the GRASS page for Google Summer of Code 2013. Here we will list project ideas and and other information related to the GRASS GSoC projects.

Ideas

• Also review ideas from 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 which are still open.

• Project ideas of your own are also most welcome and often the best.

Symbology / Cartography

• Allow display of a vector legend in the map display (equivalent to current d.legend implementation for rasters)

• Expand symbology

HB: note that SoC only accepts coding projects, not graphics design or documentation projects. Adding svg/eps support to a d.* module and ps.map would be quite helpful. See the d.graph help page and ps.map's "eps" and "vpoints" instructions.

• Rework the complete set of thematic cartography tools such as d.vect.thematic and d.thematic.area and the related classification routines

Imagery

• Based on the work on segmentation in GSoC 2012 develop routines for object-based image classification. This probably entails:
  • characterizing segments
  • classifying segments based on the caracteristics and (possibly) training areas
