Together with @berak I have successfully added patch #559 which contained code for the NeuralGas clustering algorithm. It is completely tranfered towards C++ interfacing.

I am looking for people who have used this kind of algorithm before to test the code and who might succeed in creating some sample. Also people who can create regression tests, feel free to help out. Same goes for documentation, altough I can do this myself.

Easiest way to help out is to fork my repository! If anyone has any recommendations, feel free to add them!

More info:

Some information about the algorithm

EDIT: still looking for help here :)

EDIT2: we have created a seperate repository, since people cannot fork the openCV repository twice due to name conflict. Feel free to fork and help looking for solutions.

btw, where did you find the original code ?

nvm, found it

I found it at the patch itself :) The code is doing what it supposed to do now, we should only refractor it to the new style. However, I am running into deadlines, project proposals, and so on for the moment, so I do not have the time...

was just playing with it again. btw, feeding other ppl's gravatar urls into TinEye or such is quite helpful to locate them ;)

Thank you for the work! Actually in a seminar (partially supervised by me), a student should deal with this algorithm, maybe he can use the existing work.

Would be great if he could use these basics and provide samples and documentation as part of his work. Maybe ask him if he is interested in this?

sorry, i can't fork it (already got an opencv fork).

could you enable 'issues' for your opencv fork ? would make it easy to comment /discuss stuff online.

(it's in 'settings', below the pull requests / pulse / graph stuff)

I am going to check if I can do that!

I have done it :) So basically someone cannot place a fork on my repository if it has the same name as an existing one? Hmmm kinda stupid...

@Guanta, I am trying to clean up and close my questions. Did your student eventually succeeded in getting it to work? If so could we use his code?
