* I am Monika Shivhare, an undergraduate student at department of Electronics Enginering, Indian Institute of Technology(BHU), Varanasi. I am interested in working on project Improvements to N-dimensional image processing.  
* Please describe yourself in three sentences, one of them regarding your current studies.
** I speak English and Hindi
** Which languages do you speak?
** I am involved in MATLAB since 2015. I have done projects on image processing,machine learning,computational geometry.I did a summer internship with Engineering development group at MATHWORKS (May-July 2018)
** What's your overall background? ''The general field you work in or are studying, e.g. computer science, physics, artificial intelligence, control theory...''
*Being a final year student, It would be great oppotunity for me to contibute for Octave.This will give me a platform to work on open source and also to get guidance from mentors. I have checked previous work by the mentor of this project, Carnë Draug, and found it quite impressive. I genuinely feel that with his guidance I can make significance contribution to Octave forge Image Package.
*Why do you want to participate in the Google Summer of Code? What do you hope to gain by doing so?
**Please also describe your previous experience with the GSoC, if any. ''Includes any community-bonding, mentor experience or application, not necessarily accepted. We use this subquestion to identify which students are unfamiliar with how the program goes, providing further support. It has no negative impact on your rating!''
* Why are you choosing Octave?

* TimeZone:  IST (UTC +5:30)  
* Please state the (unique and identical where possible) nick you use on IRC and any other communication channel related to Octave. ''We really want unique nicks. You might want to bold it.''
** I generally work from 08:00 to 20:00 but it can be flexible if required.
* Which time zone do you live in? Will that change over GSoC duration? ''Perhaps DST adjustment or a relocation. Note that both UTC and GMT are not aware of daylight saving time! Please state UTC+x or -x.''
* Please state the timeframe (in UTC+0) when you feel most comfortable working during GSoC. Where are your time buffers?
** ''Example: I usually code around 9.00 to 18.00 and could also try to start earlier (~7.00) for few days ;-)''

Got a broad understanding of Simulink Design Verifier.
 
Developed 2 tools to analyze performance of SLDV using data generated from other past developer's tools . Developed user interface of the tool and visual representations of the results.

** IRC and mailing lists
** Pixllate
** Mercurial or other source code management systems
Build a grid solving autonomous bot which moves in a dynamically changing grid taking feed from overhead camera using image processing techniques in matlab.It was under event Pixlate in Technex'16 and now a co-coordinator and a mentor of the same.
** Mediawiki or other wiki software
* gesture controlled image editor
** make, gcc, gdb or other development tools
Its basically a real time Gesture Recognizing Interactive Image editor tool, designed in Matlab, which has all the features of pinch zoom and rotate features for any image shown in computer screen. It implemented Image Processing for gesture segmentation and Logistic Regression for gesture recognition.It was under MOSAIC, a machine learning and image processing event of Udyam'16, the annual technical fest of Electronics Department, IIT(BHU) Varanasi.

Public application template

This part should be answered in public on your user page. Please copy its source (edit tab) and then fill. DO NOT MAKE CHANGES TO THIS PAGE! Delete any examples and annotations (this markup) afterwards. Same for questions that do not apply to your situation.
