MATCHING METHOD [13 records]

Record 1 2024-02-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Dentistry
CONT

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.

DNA matching is the best way to identify body parts... DNA matching can be based on profiles from relatives, self-samples or belongings being the only method for primary identification independent from direct comparison(fingerprint record, dental record).

La comparaison de profils génétiques est la meilleure façon d'identifier des fragments de corps. [...] La comparaison de profils génétiques peut se faire à partir de prélèvements sur des membres de la famille, des échantillons provenant de la personne en question ou des effets personnels de celle-ci.

Subject field(s)
  • Culture of Fruit Trees

DEF

The method of grafting new plant growth onto a stronger root system by establishing young plants near an existing tree and removing matching areas of bark to bind growing branches of the younger tree to branches of the old until they grow together and can be separated with the new branches attached to the older rootstock.

OBS

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.

Record 4 2007-01-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

A technique used in image restoration, enhancement or coding [that is] a separable orthogonal transform or an expansion of the matrix in rank-1 matrices.

CONT

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.

OBS

English

Subject field(s)
  • Reconstituted-Wood Products
CONT

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. This face matching method may be used in sequence matched sets and is commonly used in blueprint matched panels.

OBS

The term "balanced match" and this justification have been taken from a document dated 1987, published by the Architectural Woodwork Manufacturers Association of Canada and entitled "Quantity Standards for Architectural Woodwork".

Two methods for the measurements of osseous change detected by digital substraction radiography have been evaluated... The radiographic image method uses a calibration wedge on each of the two films. The mean gray value of the ROI((region of interest)) on each film is converted into an equivalent thickness of bone by matching the ROI mean gray value to a gray value along the wedge.(In J Periodontal Res Sep 1990, 25(5) p268-75, cited in data bases.)

Subject field(s)
  • Mental Disorders
OBS

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.
