I would be happy to mentor such project, but please consider the following:

  1 - we will only accept applications from users that have already
  contributed to the project.  It is all good to tell us what you can
  do but you will also have to show us.  I already provided you with
  some easy projects.  You haven't submitted a single patch yet.

  2 - for your specific project, would be better to have a proof of
  concept.  Are you sure Octave has what it needs to do it?  If it
  doesn't, then the project would turn into improving Octave's java
  interface which is a very different thing and would probably require
  a mentor other than me.

  3 - I believe that most of ImageJ plugins and functions do not use
  imglib2, instead use the original ImageJ classes.  There may be more
  value on using that instead.  It should at least make distribution
  easier for downstream packagers since ImageJ2 seems like a pain and
  is packaged by no one.

  4 - we expect GSoC students to take it as full-time job.  I don't know
  the details of your PhD studies, but please be aware of what we will
  expect from you time-wise.
