resolving merge conflicts with magit-ediff

Use magit-ediff to resolve merge conflicts

Use magit-ediff or 'e' on an unmerged item to resolve merge conflicts with ediff. Magit will set up an ediff with three buffers A, B and C. A and B are the original (conflicting) files, and C is the conflicted merge.

Use 'n'/'p' to move to the next/previous conflict, use 'a'/'b' to choose which changes (those in a A or B) should be the ones to keep in the merged file.

You can always just switch to buffer C and edit what the merged version should look like.

This is my default career advice for people starting out in geo/GIS, especially remote sensing, adapted from a response to a letter in 2013.

I'm currently about to start a Geography degree at the University of [Redacted] at [Redacted] with a focus in GIS, and I've been finding that I have an interest in working with imagery. Obviously I should take Remote Sensing and other similar classes, but I'm the type of person who likes to self learn as well. So my question is this: What recommendations would you give to a student who is interested in working with imagery? Are there any self study paths that you could recommend?

I learned on my own and on the job, and there are a lot of important topics in GIS that I don’t know anything about, so I can’t give comprehensive advice. I haven’t arrived anywhere; I’m just ten minutes ahead in the convoy we’re both in. Take these recommendations critically.

Find interesting people. You’ll learn a lot more from a great professor (or mentor, or friend, or conference) o

Whiteboard Picture Cleaner - Shell one-liner/script to clean up and beautify photos of whiteboards!

Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"

Detecting Road Signs in Mapillary Images with dlib C++

image

I've been interested in computer vision for a long time, but I haven't had any free time to make any progress until this holiday season. Over Christmas and the New Years I experimented with various methodologies in OpenCV to detect road signs and other objects of interest to OpenStreetMap. After some failed experiments with thresholding and feature detection, the excellent /r/computervision suggested using the dlib C++ module because it has more consistently-good documentation and the pre-built tools are faster.

After a day or two figuring out how to compile the examples, I finally made some progress:

Compiling dlib C++ on a Mac with Homebrew

  1. Clone dlib from Github to your local machine:
