Dear OpenCV Mentors and Community,
My name is Aditya Raj, a 2nd-year ECE student from RIT Roorkee. I am writing to introduce myself as an aspiring contributor for GSoC 2026.
I have been using OpenCV extensively in my embedded-AI projects, most notably:
EyeOnDriver (ADAR): A driver drowsiness detection system using OpenCV, MediaPipe, and ESP32 for real-time fatigue monitoring.
Hand Gesture Robot: A robotic control system based on computer vision and gesture recognition.
I am particularly interested in optimizing OpenCV for edge devices (like ESP32/Raspberry Pi) and improving the Python bindings, as these are the tools I use daily.
Current Status:
I have successfully read the contribution guidelines.
I have compiled and built the OpenCV library locally on my machine.
I am now looking for a "Good First Issue" to start my contribution journey.
Could you please point me toward any active modules or issues—specifically related to Video I/O or Python Bindings—where a new contributor could be helpful?
Thank you for your time and guidance.
Best regards,
Aditya Raj
