Calculating hypotenuses of acute triangles in a circular segment












2












$begingroup$


I have a sector of a circle split into 16 equal segments. I am trying to calculate the hypotenuses of the triangles formed by 2 intersecting straight lines (for example, triangle $LEQ$), which sort encloses the circular sector in rectangular boundaries.



enter image description here



Conditions:




  1. Radius of the circular segment is known.

  2. Angle of the sector (and hence the segments) is known.

  3. Lengths $UE1$ and $JE1$ are known.


  4. $EJ$ is parallel to the X-axis.

  5. Assume α is the angle for each segment.


My approach:




  1. Calculate $KJ$, $KJ = tan(α) cdot EJ$

  2. From here, line $EK = KJ / sin(α)$

  3. To find the "opposite" of the next segment I do $EJcdot(tan(2α) - tan(α))$

  4. Repeat step number 2 with the new value.


The red segments' "opposites" are parallel to the Y-axis. That all works fine until I reach segment 9, where the point $E1$ is. The "opposites" for the blue segments now have to be parallel to the X-axis, and continuing with my approach I only get them parallel with the Y-axis.



Using first calculation as a reference, how can I find the blue "opposites" such as $UT, TS, OE1, NO$, etc..?

You then have 16 lines $r_k$, forming angles $kalpha$ with $x$ axis ($1le kle16$).



And then you have two lines $x=x_0$, $y=y_0$, parallel to the axes.



The intersections of lines $r_k$ with these can be readily found as:
$$
P_k=(x_0, x_0tan kalpha),quad Q_k=(y_0cot kalpha, y_0).
$$
In your diagram, $K=P_1$, $R=P_2$, and so on. $A_1$ corresponds to the last $P_k$ whose ordinate is less then $y_0$, that is to:
$$
bar k=leftlfloor{1overalpha}arctan{y_0over x_0}rightrfloor.
$$
In the same way, $U=Q_{16}$, $T=Q_{15}$ and so on, down to $bar k+1$.



To compute $x_0$ and $y_0$ from your data, notice that $y_0=JE_1$ and
$UE_1=x_0-y_0cot 16alpha$.

            How to label and detect the document text images

            Image
            1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
