[Beelinguapp] The king and stupid monkey

Story


 A long time ago, a king lived in a palace near a jungle. From the palace, he could hear the chattering of the monkey. Looking at the monkey made him happy. One day he ordered his hunters to use nets to capture one of the monkeys and bring it back to the palace. He decided to keep the monkeys as a pet. The king's advisor warned him that keeping the monkey in the palace was not a good idea. "Monkeys are wild animals and can be dangerous," the advisor told him. But, the king was in charge. He gave the orders. He did not have to take the advice of anyone. He was the king. He knew better than his advisors. "This is my royal Monkey," he told the palace staff. "It may go wherever it wants in the palace and may do what it wishes." But, the monkey was not trained. It did many foolish things in the palace. It made many messes. But no one stopped it. They did not want to go against the wishes of the king. The monkey went everywhere it wanted, including the king's bedroom. One day, the king decided to take a nap while his monkey kept watching. As the king slept, a fly came into the room and sat on the king's chest. The monkey swatted at the fly. It flew out of the monkey's reach but soon returned. The monkey swatted at it again. The fly moved out of the monkey's reach only to come back again seconds later. It landed this time on the king's head. The monkey became very excited. It looked for something to use to hit the fly and saw the king's scepter. The scepter was made a metal wand made of gold and covered with jewels. The king carried it as a sign to everyone that he was powerful and in charge of everything. But, this time, the monkey took charge. The monkey picked up the scepter. He began chasing the fly with the gold scepter swinging it time after time at the fly. When the fly landed the king's head the monkey swung the scepter at the fly. The fly moved. The hard gold scepter missed the fly, but it did not miss the king. The monkey hit the king right in the head. His servants found the king later. His head was bleeding, and the king head a huge bump on his head. Now the king used his head for something besides as a target. He sent the money back to the jungle to live. The hit on the head by the monkey left a giant bump on the top of the king's head that never went away. He had to have his crown made larger to fit him better. The king also decided to begin to listen to advice given to him by others. Maybe, he was not right all of the time. The king's advisor did not say, "I told you sir to the king." That would not have been polite. But he did say, "Beware of foolish friends. They can cause you more harm than your enemies."
 Make decisions wisely. Listen to advice given by friends and family. Ponder that advice. Then use your own experiences, research, knowledge and common sense to consider the advice before acting on it. Be confident, but not overconfident. Finally, select wise and reliable people to your friends and employee. Don't let the foolish monkey into your life.

[OpenCV] What is gocv?

Image
GoCV           The GoCV package provides Go language bindings for the  OpenCV 4  computer vision library. The GoCV package supports the latest releases of Go and OpenCV (v4.0.0) on Linux, macOS, and Windows. We intend to make the Go language a "first-class" client compatible with the latest developments in the OpenCV ecosystem. GoCV also supports  Intel OpenVINO . Check out the  OpenVINO README  for more info on how to use GoCV with the Intel OpenVINO toolkit. How to use Hello, video This example opens a video capture device using device "0", reads frames, and shows the video in a GUI window: package main import ( " gocv.io/x/gocv " ) func main () { webcam , _ := gocv. OpenVideoCapture ( 0 ) window := gocv. NewWindow ( " Hello " ) img := gocv. NewMat () for { webcam. Read (&img) window. IMShow (img) window. WaitKey ( 1 ) } } Face detect This is a more complete example that opens a v...

[OpenCV] How to set up gocv

This page has information on how to install and use GoCV on macOS. Installing Install the GoCV package: go get -u -d gocv.io/x/gocv You can install OpenCV 4.0.0 using Homebrew. If you already have an earlier version of OpenCV (3.4.x) installed, you should probably remove it before installing the new version: brew uninstall opencv You can then install OpenCV 4.0.0: brew install hybridgroup /tools/ opencv This new Homebrew recipe will install only OpenCV 4.0.0 without all of the Python dependencies. pkgconfig Installation pkg-config is used to determine the correct flags for compiling and linking OpenCV. You can install it by using Homebrew: brew install pkgconfig How to build/run code Once you have installed OpenCV, you should be able to build or run any of the command examples: go run ./ cmd /version/main.go The version program should output the following: gocv version : 0 .18 .0 opencv lib version : 4 .0 .0 Cache builds If you are running a ve...
