RegionDifference for Cylinder and Cuboid












5












$begingroup$


I wish to use RegionDifference to take a cube shape out of a cylinder. First I make the cylinder and cube and combine them in RegionUnion.



reg1 = Cylinder[{{0, 0, 0}, {10, 0, 0}}, 0.5];

reg2 = Cuboid[{5, 0, 0}, {10, 1, 1}];

Region[RegionUnion[reg1, reg2], Axes -> True]


Mathematica graphics



So this looks good so far. Now I wish to take the cuboid out of the cylinder leaving a notch in the cylinder. I try 



reg = RegionDifference[reg1, reg2];

Region[reg, Axes -> True, PlotRange -> All]


Mathematica graphics



My cylinder is chopped off short and given a bad end (away from the subtraction). Is there a workaround?



Version 11.3 for windows.

    Wow, that's really weird. Please contact support. Honestly, I am quite disappointed with the almost nonexistent usability of the BooleanRegion facilities.

Please note the RegionBounds:



reg1 = Cylinder[{{0, 0, 0}, {10, 0, 0}}, 0.5];

reg2 = Cuboid[{5, 0, 0}, {10, 1, 1}];

reg = RegionDifference[reg1, reg2];



bounds = RegionBounds@reg;

Region[reg, Axes -> True, PlotRange -> bounds]

This seems to be a viable workaround although it is a shame that we have to discretize the cylinder that early.



reg1 = BoundaryDiscretizeRegion[Cylinder[{{0, 0, 0}, {10, 0, 0}}, 0.5], MaxCellMeasure -> 0.001];

reg2 = BoundaryDiscretizeRegion[Cuboid[{5, 0, 0}, {10, 1, 1}]];

reg = RegionDifference[reg1, reg2]

As a rule of thumb, I would strongly discourage applying boolean operations to graphics primitives and everything else which is neither a MeshRegion nor a BoundaryMeshRegion.

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 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.
