I suppose this project is your own idea as it is not listed in the
projects page, right?

I think it would be good to add you idea under "Your Own Project Idea"
section in [1] adding as much information as possible so that we can
evaluate your idea and possible assign a mentor / backup mentor.
A few things I think are important to evaluate your project are:
*have a well defined "expected result", will it be a filter? or
something else? we already have a dnn module and a dnn_processing
filter, will your project be using it?

*what is the amount of work that will be done during the project, more
or less this is related to above "expected result"

*define a qualification task, we can discuss it after the above is define

*sell your idea (not strictly necessary but may help evaluating your
project), why is it useful feature to have, what improvements it
brings, etc
