The visual assessment of tooth colour by the comparison and matching of the tooth with a tooth colour shade guide under the same lighting conditions is the most frequently applied method in dentistry... Tooth shade guides come in many types and forms, but essentially the basic design involves a series of standard tooth colours, often tooth shaped, and can be arranged according to chroma and/or value. 1, record 1, English, - tooth%20colour%20shade%20guide

Inarching is similar to approach grafting in that both stock and scion plants are on their own roots at the time of grafting; it differs in that the top of the new root stock plant usually does not extend above the point of the graft union as it does in approach grafting. 4, record 3, English, - inarching

This paper presents a simple and effective method for matching two uncalibrated images. Corner points are firstly extracted as interest points in the two images. Each interest point is assigned one dominant orientation. The initial set of point matches is then obtained by singular value decomposition of a correspondence strength matrix. A new expression of this matrix is introduced to handle more complicated imaging conditions. Each element of this matrix is the similarity measure between two interest points. The new similarity measure is invariant to image rotation by taking into account the dominant orientation of the two interest points. The epipolar geometry constraint is finally imposed to reject the false matches. Experimental results on real images show this approach to be effective for general image matching. 4, record 4, English, - singular%20value%20decomposition

Balanced Match : Each face is made from an odd or even number of equal width veneer pieces. If the panel run is large the number of veneer pieces per equal width panel may eventually increase or decrease as the individual veneer pieces vary in width within the total flitch.

A more convenient procedure [in psychophysics] is to ask the observer to match numbers to a series of stimuli. He then assigns numbers proportional to the apparent magnitude of the stimuli presented by the experimenter. This matching procedure is called magnitude estimation. In a reverse procedure, called magnitude production, the experimenter assigns a set of numbers in irregular order and the observer adjusts the stimuli to produce what he judges to be a sensation proportional to each number.(...) Magnitudes scales may also be constructed by Merkel' s method of ratio production, which he called the method of double stimulus. 3, record 13, English, - ratio%20production
