[GRASS-dev] OSGeo-SoC 2016 application

[Yang, Bo (yangb2)]

Hi Luca,

Thank you for the reply and info. It is great if you could co-mentor this project. I would be more interest in implementing my spatio-temporal fusion algorithm as an open source plug-in. Actually, I already have the preliminary python code for the raster fusion, including modules of spatio-temporal semi-variogram calculating, exponential/Gaussian fitting, spatio-temporal fusion, uncertainty estimation and etc. Currently it runs well for fusing MODIS and Landsat data. But it is just a preliminary program, I think a lot more works need to be done to make it professional and could incorporated into GRASS framework. 
I've read the link you sent to me. I think it is a good point to add it to r.series.interp, which I noticed author is Sören Gebbert. Should I ask Sören if he is interested to be a potential mentor? Furthermore, could you advise what should I do now to get start for the programming environmental as well as prepare the proposal? 

Best,
Bo Yang

This is really interesting, In GRASS GIS Temporal Framework [0][1] already exists a module for raster gapfilling [2], it uses the module r.series.interp [3]. The idea could be to add a new method in r.series.interp and a new vector module something like v.series.interp and after you could add the new functionality to GRASS GIS Temporal Framework.

I could co-mentor this proposal, maybe Soeren could be a good mentor for this proposal....
