[libcamera-devel] GSoC: OpenGL/OpenCL software ISP

[Abhay Raj Singh]

Hello everyone,

I am Abhay a 3rd-year student at the National Institute of Technology,
Hamirpur, India. I had participated in GSoC last year with Inkscape(Open
source vector graphics editor)
as my mentoring organization, and I am very interested in the project
titled *OpenGL/OpenCL software ISP. *Sorry for approaching late, I had
mid-semester exams.

I am an open-source enthusiast trusting nothing but open-source software,
and images and graphics partcularly interest me. But, it pains me to see
that most of the good camera features
are offered by privacy guzzling corps. It will give me immense happiness to
be able to contribute to the open-source solutions *libcamera *aims to
provide.

I had written a header-only library to create Netpbm images in the first
year. Source code: https://github.com/rathod-sahaab/cppm
However, I lost direction due to the "*everything from scratch*" attitude
as a new programmer back then.

I really want to get involved with the *libcamera* community to learn from
the experienced developers. Though I won't bother you much just a nudge in
the right direction and what to learn
will be enough for me.

I am experienced in C and C++(modern and pre-modern) which I used and
learned more about during my projects last GSoC.
I also have some experience with HTML5 Canvas so I am confident I can learn
OpenGL with some effort.

I have some doubts regarding the project *OpenGL/OpenCL software ISP*
https://libcamera.org/open-projects.html#opengl-opencl-software-isp
1. Will the project aims to provide a binary(CLI app) or library or both?
2. Can I use Rust?
3. What image formats should the project support? (Just *.raw* or others
too)

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Abhay
