What do The Orville's uniform colours indicate?












13















The crew of the Orville (and the Admiral) wear a wide range of uniform colours including red, orange, blue, green, blue, grey and purple.



enter image description here



Do we have a definitive indication of what these various uniform colours indicate?

    Blue is definitely reserved for primary command, I.e. Captain, 1st officer, and 2nd officer. Red is security. Green is medical. Orange.. So far is helmsman / navigation. The robot science officer doesn't wear a uniform, so we don't know what color he would get (maybe green). Grey... Janitors? Or maybe engineers. And i don't remember seeing purple.

    @JackBNimble - That's an awful lot of medical staff. Nearly 15-20%(ish) of the crew?

    Well, it is a sortof parody of StarTrek, and on that medics and science shared the same color. I would guess the same here. We wont know until we see more episodes I guess.

Purple: Admiralty



enter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description here



We've seen three admirals, Tucker, Ozawa, and Halsey, and all three have purple uniforms, and they all sport the "Command" chest badge.



Blue: Command



enter image description here



We see this on Captain Mercer, Commander Kelly Grayson, and Lieutentant Commander Bortus. Again then have the Union icon that denotes command.



Green: Science



enter image description here



We see this on Doctor Claire Finn, she has the "science" badge.



Orange: Engineering



enter image description here



Both helmsman and those in engineering wear this color and the "two gears" badge.



Red: Security



enter image description here



Lieutenant Alara Kitan wearing a red uniform with a "shield" badge.



Grey: Enlisted



enter image description here



Here we see the backs of several grey dressed crewmen. They appear to have colored stripes on their grey uniforms (green and red).



enter image description here



Here we see (albeit blurry) the grey uniformed crew have the same badges as officers denoting sections (engineering gears, science green, red shield security) with matching color stripes.

    Also, the clearly broad age range of the grey folk seems to rule out cadets (which they would be if it were a mapping to Trek), making enlisted the most likely choice.

  • Having just seen the 2018 Ja’loja episode, it features Jayne Tyler who is a Dark Matter Cartographer. Jayne sports the green uniform of a science officer, but has a totally different badge to Dr Finn. This indicates that there are divisions within each section, as speculated in the questions comments.

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...
