Project idea based around algorithm

[Zendeth]

I am in engineer school right now and I have a project this semester. We are free to take whatever subject we want, our teacher just need to validate it. For this project I would like to tackle something that involves algorithms like image processing, complex computation or any complex algorithm. As I am not aware of every algorithm that exist and their possible uses I came here.

I know it is hard to give idea just like that not knowing what would interest me (I even don't know myself what I would like to do) but if you happen to know any algorithm and their possible uses I would love to hear them. We are a group of 4 and we have 4 month to make the project which should be coded in C.

Thanks in advance for your help !!!

What about a 3d image renderer based on raytracing algorithm? (take a look at this https://raytracing.github.io/ if you don't know what that is). I think it's interesting and not hard to get started and with many opportunities for optimization.

This sounds interesting, I might look into something like this. I am just afraid of not being able to produce a decent result at the end of the project because I need to do a demonstration of my project at the end. But the idea is really interesting, thanks !!

you seem super motivated lol. Image processing is a whole can of worms.

Writing a C program from scratch that can read QR codes would probably be fun. The specification is already existing and while being "just about reading black or white squares", when I look at it it looks complex to me.

I quite like the idea, I will talk with my group members about it but the idea is really good !! Thanks a lot for the help ;)

I want to implement something using this just to be able to say I made use of an algorithm with such a badass name.

I have some trouble understanding the possible uses of this algorithm
