Level up to match my power of eight












11












$begingroup$



I eat my way around, to avoid get eaten.

My prey eats me if I don't eat it first.

I have been around from the golden age.

Some try to finish me, some claim to finish me.

But everyone fails in front of my power of eight.




What am I referring to?

          Are you:




          PAC-MAN?




          I eat my way around, to avoid get eaten.




          PAC-MAN eats pellets to score points whilst avoiding ghosts.




          My pray eats me if I don't eat it first.




          PAC-MAN has the ability to eat the ghosts if he gets a special pellet.




          I have been around from the golden age.




          PAC-MAN is a classic arcade game from "the golden age" of gaming.




          Some try to finish me, some claim to finish me.




          PAC-MAN keeps on getting harder and harder the more levels you clear, some people claim that there is an end.




          But everyone fails in front of my power of eight.




          Thanks to @Gareth in comments: This refers to the 256th level (2^8) which glitches out and fails due to only using 8-bit integer storage.

          Tabula Rosettana

          Image
          Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. 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. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet.

          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...
