==Activities==

===SlitherGrid Hacking===

'''Project Description:'''

http://redefinedhorizonsblog.com/2013/01/15/the-surveyos-projects-slithergrid-toolkit/

'''Task Suggestions'''
* Implement basic raster processes by creating implementations of the GridWorker classes.
** Simplify raster.
** Classify raster.
** Fill null cells.
** Create polygons from classified raster cells.
** Create ridges and valleys from elevation raster.
** Classify slopes from elevation raster.
** Classify aspect from elevation raster.
** Create elevation raster from LIDAR data.
** Create elevation variability raster.
** Create raster from polygon coverage.
* Implement basic IO support for common vector and raster formats.
** Raster data as ASCII text file (http://paulbourke.net/dataformats/ppm/).
** Raster data as CSV file.
** Raster data as ESRI Grid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esri_grid).
** Surface as TIN file.
** Surface as elevation grid.
** Simple feature geometry as WKT.
** Simple feature geometrys from Shapefiles.
*Implement basic grid painting.
** Paint grid as PNG image file.
** Paint grid as SVG.

===Inkscape Cartography and Drafting Tools===
Inkscape is a great program for creating cartographic maps. It would be even better for this task with some simple CAD and cartography tools. Inkscape can be extended through Python extensions. (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Extensions)

'''Task Suggestions'''
* Enter circle by Coordinate.
* Edit node coordinates in dialog box.
* Enter straight line by coordinates.
* Enter arc by coordinates and angle.
* Make line parallel to another line.
* Make text parallel to another line.
* Make line perpendicular to another line.
* Add nodes at distance along path.
* Match label parts to path segments.

===Balloon Mapping===

Last Saturday I went balloon mapping with some people from [http://publiclaboratory.org/home Public Laboratory] and we ended up with a whole bunch of [https://t.co/Dh1VpAfw balloon imagery] that needs to be stitched and geo-referenced. I was surprised to see that although there are [http://graphics.cs.cmu.edu/courses/15-463/2004_fall/www/Papers/MSR-TR-2004-92-Sep27.pdf several algorithms] that could help with this, the popular tools like [http://mapknitter.org/ Mapknitter] don't have something to do things in batch, so the process can become manually intensive. I'd love to see if we can use the new [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/Correlator GDAL Surf Correlator] or the classes in the [http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/SoftwareGuide/SoftwareGuidech9.html Orfeo Toolbox] which seem to do have the fundamental algorithms that we would need. IMHO, building a GUI would not be out of the question (web or native or whatever).
