====== Google Summer of Code 2020 ======

[{{ gsoc:otsu_clustering2a.png?350|The kind of stuff I worked on. Picture from [[gsoc:otsu2018_3|this blog entry]].}}]

I participated as a student in Google Summer of Code in 2020. I worked on [[https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#6675798750134272|New Spectral Upsampling Methods]] for [[https://www.colour-science.org/|Colour]], an affiliated project of  [[https://numfocus.org/|NumFOCUS]].

I've published my [[gsoc:proposal|project proposal]]. Maybe it'll help you if you're planning to participate yourself. The summary of my work, the //work product submission// can be found under [[https://redman.xyz/gsoc-2020-work-product-submission|this permalink]].

I maintained a blog throughout the program. (It's actually a requirement for students under NumFOCUS). A few posts are purely progress updates, but most of them cover the math and color science behind the code I was developing.

Big thanks to Google, NumFOCUS, and most importantly my mentors, [[https://github.com/MichaelMauderer|Michael Mauderer]], [[https://github.com/KelSolaar|Thomas Manscencal]] and [[https://github.com/hao-xie|Hao Xie]], for a great and fun summer, and the opportunity to work on a really cool project.
