Four Directions #12 - Where and what am I?












6












$begingroup$



To the South is the jewel in the ring you can't wear



To the East was envisioned a mountain pair



To the North climb a tree to work your own way



To the West are buildings that don't see the light of day



I create dearly beloved untruths




Hint 1




Untruth that I make is real and nice.
Why call it untruth? Because it's a lie!




Hint 2




I'm closer to North than South or East.
You'll want to stop by if you yearn for a feast.




Hint 3




There are memes, there are things that inspired memes, and there are things that inspired the things that inspired memes.

    Just saw this was never solved. Can we get a new clue? Hint #1 makes me think of maybe a r13(jrqqvat puncry) but that may just be me being cynical :)

    @MetaZen It gets harder to come up with clues that don't just give the answer away... But at least I still remember the answer :-)

Others have already found the locations north, south, east and west. The place we are looking for is




the Regent Bakery and Cafe in Seattle




because




to quote from the page linked above, "our black forest cake became an illustration in the video game Portal as a "reward cake" due to a local game developers' fondness for the cake". The cake is a dearly beloved untruth because "the cake is a lie".

    Partial:



    South:




    I'm thinking it has to do with Petrified wood (rings in the wood), which is the jewel of the state of Washington. Thinking Mt Saint Helens as it's part of the ring of fire.




    East:




    Snoqualmie, WA. Where Twin Peaks was filmed.




    North




    Is this referring to the Microsoft Treehouse? These offices are where employees can work




    West




    The Seattle Underground. These buildings were built on top of due to the fire in 1889. They will never see the light of day again.




    What Am I?

            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 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. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...
