Bounties are an opportunity to get a little bit of money while helping out the development of BoofCV and the community as a whole.  Anyone can submit code they own and donate it to the project for one of the tasks below.  If the code is accepted you will get the bounty [1]!  Each bounty is broken up into two amounts, base and bonus.  The base is the amount you will receive no matter what if you complete the task and the code is accepted.  The bonus is a variable amount that is decided based on the quality of the code, if it meet all the requirements, and how much time was needed to integrate it in.


It's advised that you publicly announce on the BoofCV message board that you're working on a bounty and provide a link to your project page.  This is a collaboration not a competition in the end!

Awards are specified in USD.  Max award is the base amount plus the maximum bonus.


== Code Requirements ==
[*] The base award is awarded through [http://bountysource.com BountySource]


To qualify for the award you must meet all the minimum requirements specified in the project description and when applicable the following is also required.  Code might be accepted even if it doesn't meet all of the "requirements".  If that does happen then the bonus amount is likely to be reduced or removed completely.
= Code Requirements =


* All submitted code must have unit tests
Code submitted to a bounty needs to meet applicable requirements below for quality control purposes.  Failure to meet a requirement will be pointed out in the code review.  Minor issues are likely to be allowed but will affect your bonus.
 
* All submitted code must have good unit test coverage
* Unit tests should take at most 50ms to complete each
* Unit tests should take at most 50ms to complete each
** Current unit tests take on average 10ms each
** Current unit tests take on average 10ms each, shoot for 2ms or less
** You should shoot for 2ms or less
* When applicable, provide a usage example with example data
* You must provide a usage example with example data
* All code and comments must be in English
* Algorithms must be integrated into existing regression tests in [https://github.com/lessthanoptimal/ValidationBoof ValidationBoof] or have new ones created
* All code must be in pure Java unless specified otherwise
** Regression tests for speed and stability will be required
* No merge conflict with latest SNAPSHOT
* No merge conflict with latest SNAPSHOT
* All unit tests must pass
* Maximize use of existing internal functionality
** Not sure if a capability already exists? Ask!
* Adding new external libraries is discouraged and will need to be justified
* Code should minimize the creation of new memory and use a single thread


Suggestions:
= Rules =
* Use of existing internal functionality is highly encouraged
** Don't reinvent the wheel unless there is a good reason
** Ask if you don't know if that capability exists already!
* Adding new external libraries is discouraged and will need to be justified
** We like to keep BoofCV as small as possible
** Getting external developers to fix bugs is often a tedious procedure and slows down development
* Code shoukd minimize the creation of new memory and should recycle memory as much as possible
** Ask for examples if you aren't sure how to do this

What are Bounties?

Bounties are an opportunity to get a little bit [1] of money while helping out the development of BoofCV and the community as a whole. Anyone can participate [2] and if the submission is accepted your work will be added to BoofCV and you will get the bounty! Each bounty is broken up into two amounts, base and bonus. The base is the amount you will receive no matter what if you submission is accepted. The bonus is a variable amount that is decided based on the submission's overall quality and how well it meets all the requirements.

It's advised that you publicly announce on BoofCV's message board that you're working on a bounty and provide a link to your project page. This is a collaboration not a competition in the end! Feel free to place comments in the bounty's Google Doc description for clarifications.

Submission Process
  1. Select bounty from list and read rules
  2. (Suggested) Announce intent to work on bounty
  3. Write code or complete non-coding task for bounty
  4. Submit work for review
  5. Fix issues found during the review and resubmit
  6. If accepted:
