[Robotics] Project I wish to do for Blender for better Robot Navigation

[Shreedhar Pawar]

Hello Sir,
   I know that there are many of them who have written algorithms for depth
estimation, but maybe the algorithms that I would be using, give more speed
ups... like i would be using a parallel Boruvka's MST Algorithm for doing
graph based image sementation, image  matching  in a parallel manner which
would benefit from the segmentation done, that are the part of the depth
estimation steps.
   I hope I am putting my mails at the right place. Is there any special
email id to put the proposals or is this the one...?
Thanks for the advises.
Shreedhar Pawar.
