DigiKam - Automatic Red Eyes detection and correction
digiKam includes a basic tool to fix red eyes in image editor. there is no automatic mode (detection and fix), which makes the process of fixing red eyes in a batch of images a time consuming task. The objective of this project is to add a feature to digiKam to detect and fix red eyes automatically, and include this tool in image editor and Batch Queue Manager.

A Brief Description: The objective of this project is to add automatic red eye removal feature to digiKam BQM and Image Editor to detect and correct red eyes automatically. Status: Following were the tasks for my GSoC'16 project:
- Review current code from older Red Eyes Removal kipi tool which include some interesting algorithms.(Done)
- Check all features required by the tool in all use cases (specially with BQM).(Done)
- Implement low level filter for red eyes detection and correction(Done).
- Implement GUI and integration into image editor.(In Progress)
- Implement GUI and integration into Batch Queue Manager.(Done)
- Write unit tests for 8 bits and 16 bits color depth images and different formats (TIFF, PBNG, JP2K, and PGF) and documentation.(In Progress)
- Implement an automatic red eye correction filter for non-human eyes.(Future Plans)

This is awesome about GSoC: For the first time to be dealing with large code base and contributing to it, that's great.
This is what I learned during GSoC: Dealing with large code base, sharpening my C++ skills, working on a remote project with others, and sharpening my
