Hi Ayush,

Thanks for reaching out. Your idea seems good to me. Could you please start drafting a proposal along this line and share it to get some feedback. Google docs could be a choice of sharing your draft.

You can find proposals from previous years useful.

Also you could have a look at PostGIS 3D functions https://postgis.net/docs/manual-3.1/PostGIS_Special_Functions_Index.html#PostGIS_3D_Functions

Best,
Vissarion

Hello everyone,

I am Ayush Gupta, a CSE sophomore at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. I wanted to discuss a potential gsoc 2021 project topic with the mentors of this organization. The project topic I propose are :
1) Implementation of surface area function for Polyhedral Surfaces and otherĀ 3d point sets.
2) A distance function for calculating the shortest distance between a 3d point set and other 3d geometries (like a point or a polyhedron).
3) Convex hull for 3d point sets using the quick hull algorithm.

I wanted to know the feasibility of the project proposed and the suggestions on the same.
Regards
