Sahana Vesuvius - Ideas for Google Code-in 2012

Adding Contexts to UI Strings [Category: Development]

The Full Support for Multiple Languages project carried out under Google Summer of Code 2012 aimed to add contexts to User Interface strings in Vesuvius to make it easier for translators to identify which translation to apply to each string. However, there are still many strings to which contexts have not been added. It is also required to verify where each string is used in the Vesuvius UI before context is added.

Annotating Images of Faces [Category: QA/Testing]

Skills needed: familiarity with a web browser.

Research is going on to improve face-detection and face-matching algorithms, for eventual incorporation into Vesuvius/PeopleLocator and other projects.

To assist with algorithm training/testing and in establishing “ground truth”, you are asked to annotate images of faces with drawn rectangles. A web tool, “ImageStat”, has been built for this (but not yet public). Over 40,000 public images are available, but the work here will be subdivided into GCI-sized tasks.

A typical task might involve 400 images, in which you would be asked to draw a rectangle around each face (there may be more than one in an image) and indicate whether it is a front or profile view. Some judgement is involved in both aspects.

A guidance document with further details, including how to resolve ambiguous cases, will be provided shortly.
