  • How does the EMH hold onto a phaser while having bullets go through him?

In "Future's end, part 2", the doctor is fired upon by two Earth militants and the bullets pass through his holographic matrix. Only two scenes prior, with his new holographic projector, he receives and gives punches with starlings associate. How?

          This is directly explained in VOY S1E5, "Phage." The Doctor's body is composed of photons contained within a forcefield, and he can "modulate" the forcefield at will to either collide with solid matter or pass through it.




          PARIS: But a hologram is just a projection of light held in a magnetic containment field. There's no real matter involved.



          (The EMH slaps Paris.)



          EMH: Now, you hit me.



          (Paris's hand passes through the EMH's head.)



          EMH: The magnetic containment field that creates the illusion of my body can be modulated to allow matter to pass through it or be stopped.

            I've bolded 'at will' since it's important to note that he doesn't need to do anything visible to change 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. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet.
