How Remote Sensing is Driving Data-Driven Decisions Across Industries

How Remote Sensing is Driving Data-Driven Decisions Across Industries

In today’s data-centric world, the ability to gather, process, and analyze information is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace. Remote sensing, a technology that collects data about the Earth’s surface using satellites, drones, and other sensors, is at the forefront of this revolution. By delivering precise and actionable insights, remote sensing is empowering industries to make informed, data-driven decisions. What is Remote Sensing? Remote sensing refers to the acquisition of information about an object or area without direct physical contact. Instruments such as satellites, drones, and aircraft-mounted sensors capture data in various spectral bands, including visible, infrared, and microwave. This…

Reading Text from Rubber product

Hi, I am trying to read the characters from the image, which has characters with black color in the background. Attaching the code which i used to extract, currently its giving the partial output. Can you help me to guide how to make it accurate? import pytesseractfrom PIL import Imagepytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = 'C:UsersM562765AppDataLocalProgramsTesseract-OCRtesseract.exe' image_paths = ['C:/Users/M562765/Downloads/Unable-images/Unable/crop1.jpg'] def extract_text_from_image(image_path):# Open the imageimg = Image.open(image_path) # Use pytesseract to perform OCRextracted_text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img, config='--psm 6') # PSM 6 assumes a block of textreturn extracted_text.strip() Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode for img_path in image_paths:text = extract_text_from_image(img_path)print(f"Text extracted from {img_path}: {text}") Source link lol

End-to-End Convolutional Activation Anomaly Analysis for Anomaly Detection

End-to-End Convolutional Activation Anomaly Analysis for Anomaly Detection

arXiv:2411.14509v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose an End-to-end Convolutional Activation Anomaly Analysis (E2E-CA$^3$), which is a significant extension of A$^3$ anomaly detection approach proposed by Sperl, Schulze and B"ottinger, both in terms of architecture and scope of application. In contrast to the original idea, we utilize a convolutional autoencoder as a target network, which allows for natural application of the method both to image and tabular data. The alarm network is also designed as a CNN, where the activations of convolutional layers from CAE are stacked together into $k+1-$dimensional tensor. Moreover, we combine the classification loss of the alarm…

The Future of Online Privacy Hinges on Thousands of New Jersey Cops

The Future of Online Privacy Hinges on Thousands of New Jersey Cops

LexisNexis spokesperson Paul Eckloff disputes that freezing was an overreach. The company deemed that step as necessary to honor the requests submitted by Atlas users to not disclose their data. “This company couldn’t be more dedicated to supporting law enforcement,” he says. “We would support common sense protections.” But he described Daniel’s Law as overly punitive.To Adkisson, the people being punished were the cops, judges, and other government workers he had met on his Jeep excursions through New Jersey. Among them were police officers Justyna Maloney, 38, and her husband, Sergeant Scott Maloney, 46, who work in Rahway, a tiny…

NexusSplats: Efficient 3D Gaussian Splatting in the Wild

NexusSplats: Efficient 3D Gaussian Splatting in the Wild

arXiv:2411.14514v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has recently demonstrated remarkable rendering quality and efficiency in 3D scene reconstruction, it struggles with varying lighting conditions and incidental occlusions in real-world scenarios. To accommodate varying lighting conditions, existing 3DGS extensions apply color mapping to the massive Gaussian primitives with individually optimized appearance embeddings. To handle occlusions, they predict pixel-wise uncertainties via 2D image features for occlusion capture. Nevertheless, such massive color mapping and pixel-wise uncertainty prediction strategies suffer from not only additional computational costs but also coarse-grained lighting and occlusion handling. In this work, we propose a nexus…

The Philippines’ vice president has publicly threatened to assassinate her boss and his wife

The Philippines' top two officials are beefing so hard that one threatened to assassinate the other.Vice President Sara Duterte said on Saturday that she'd spoken to a hitman to kill her boss and his wife.She said that if she were to be killed, the hitman would carry out her orders.Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte openly threatened on Saturday to assassinate the country's president, marking the deepest fracture yet in an alliance they once formed for the 2022 election.Duterte made the threat in reference to unspecified potential harm that could befall her, saying she'd spoken to a hitman in case anything…

Meet 2024 BigDATAwire Person to Watch Chisoo Lyons

Meet 2024 BigDATAwire Person to Watch Chisoo Lyons

Women make up 15% to 22% of data science professionals, research from the Boston Consulting Group shows. One of the women who is hoping to increase that number is Chisoo Lyons, the executive director of Women in Data Science Worldwide (WiDS) and a BigDATAwire 2024 Person to Watch. WiDS started in 2015 with a one-day technical conference at Stanford University to give women a voice in data science. Since then, the group has expanded significantly, and it now touches more than 150,000 participants across 160 countries via conferences, datathons, podcasts, upskilling workshops, its Next Gen outreach program, the WiDS Academy,…
