[gdal-dev] Fwd: [SoC] Preparation of ideas pages for GSoC 2015 (deadline: 18th February!)

Two thoughts for the list:

1. A more robust algorithm for determining EPSG from WKT.

2. This list recently had an exchange regarding the use of
gdalpolygonize (and the underlying algorithm) on country scale data. The
algorithm works well on the sort of data that is typical of ground cover
classification or other raster sources that have a large number of small
(compared to the image) regions. It doesn't work well on images that
have a small number of very large regions. Perhaps development of an
algorithm that is more suited for this case might be of interest.

3. Adding a polygon simplification algorithm to gdal/ogr. This would
especially useful on the output of gdalpolygonize.

Not clear who could mentor these.
