I had a doubt regarding the competency test for GSoC 2021. As per Vissarion's suggestion, a prototype implementation of 3d convex hull would be accepted as a competency test. But since the implementation for polyhedral surfaces is just in a prototype stage and not fully implemented(like the halfedges and their relation with the polyhedral surfaces, vertices, etc which would be implemented before the GSoC coding phase starts) , the 3d convex hull algorithm(using a quickhull or randomized incremental algorithm) implementation would be difficult. So, could you please suggest another implementation that would be accepted as a competency test.

Hi Ayush,

Thanks for sharing the proposal.

As per the suggestions of Vissarion, I drafted a project proposal on the idea proposed. The draft is incomplete for now and is a basic version of the final proposal. The reason for posting the incomplete proposal here is that I had some queries regarding my proposal, and it would be great if they were answered before moving forward.

1) Is the project proposed too short or too long to be finished within the time frame?

I think it is OK.

2) Are more details required on the implementation of the proposed topics?

Yes, it is too brief. For example what algorithms are you going to implement? Are those algorithms already implemented in some other library? Do you have experience in implementing similar (computational geometry) algorithms in the past? If not you have to provide evidence for your ability/background on implementing such algorithms before the application by probably implementing a small part of the proposal e.g. a prototype of 3d convex hull algorithm.

Best,

Vissarion

I have only written about the first part of my project in the proposal. Soon
i would provide the details of the two other parts, once I know whether I am
going in the right way.
Here is the link to my proposal
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ex_4Up9gGowGGW0SO16ARx_CeU75dGpqME7nDaDFnlI/edit?usp=sharing

Looking forward to hear from the mentors.
Regards,
Ayush
