          I am a




          Battery




          I have two heads
          They never come near




          Two ends of a battery




          I've many friends, whose death is clear




          There are many, many dead batteries around




          The lucky ones can live again and again




          Rechargable batteries




          When I die I'm replaced by a twin.




          If one battery dies, you buy a new one (same type) and replace it.

          A Pencil




          I have two heads



          They never come near




          Point and Eraser at opposing ends




          I've many friends, whose death is clear




          Broken, dull, or sharpened to an unusable length




          The lucky ones can live again and again




          Can be sharpened again and again. Alternatively, mechanical pencils should be essentially infinitely reusable




          When I die I'm replaced by a twin.




          Pencils are essentially identical, and you'll likely replace one with another.

            The two "heads" of the pencil can actually come near by sharpening too much.

          I think the answer is batteries.




          I have two heads




          The poles of the battery, used to power the device the get plugged into.




          They never come near




          The battery is a fixed shape and so the two heads of a single battery do not touch.




          I've many friends whose death is clear




          Batteries are said to "die." And you can tell they have died when the device you are using loses power. Also, some batteries let you gauge the power left in them by holding down certain points.




          The lucky ones can live again and again




          Rechargeable batteries escape the fate of their normal brethren.




          When I die I'm replaced by a twin.




          Normally you don't mix battery types, so you replace like for like. Also people normally buy a single type at a time.




          Hint:




          I am used nearly every day but often ignored.

          You don't give batteries a thought until your device stops working. So you often ignore them.




          Edit: Too slow on mobile, someone beat me to it.

          A Pencil




          I have two heads



          They never come near




          Point and Eraser at opposing ends




          I've many friends, whose death is clear




          Broken, dull, or sharpened to an unusable length




          The lucky ones can live again and again




          Can be sharpened again and again. Alternatively, mechanical pencils should be essentially infinitely reusable




          When I die I'm replaced by a twin.




          Pencils are essentially identical, and you'll likely replace one with another.

            The two "heads" of the pencil can actually come near by sharpening too much.

          I think the answer is batteries.




          I have two heads




          The poles of the battery, used to power the device the get plugged into.




          They never come near




          The battery is a fixed shape and so the two heads of a single battery do not touch.




          I've many friends whose death is clear




          Batteries are said to "die." And you can tell they have died when the device you are using loses power. Also, some batteries let you gauge the power left in them by holding down certain points.




          The lucky ones can live again and again




          Rechargeable batteries escape the fate of their normal brethren.




          When I die I'm replaced by a twin.




          Normally you don't mix battery types, so you replace like for like. Also people normally buy a single type at a time.




          Hint:




          I am used nearly every day but often ignored.

          You don't give batteries a thought until your device stops working. So you often ignore them.




          Edit: Too slow on mobile, someone beat me to it.

          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...

Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica.
