CompareProtos()

float CompareProtos	(	PROTO	p1,
		PROTO	p2
	)

---

Public Function Prototypes

Compare protos p1 and p2 and return an estimate of the worst evidence rating that will result for any part of p1 that is compared to p2. In other words, if p1 were broken into pico-features and each pico-feature was matched to p2, what is the worst evidence rating that will be achieved for any pico-feature.

Parameters

p1,p2

protos to be compared

Globals: none

Returns

Worst possible result when matching p1 to p2.

void ComputePaddedBoundingBox	(	PROTO	Proto,

	TangentPad	amount of pad to add in direction of segment
	OrthogonalPad	amount of pad to add orthogonal to segment
[out]	BoundingBox	place to put results

DummyFastMatch()

bool DummyFastMatch	(	FEATURE	Feature,

This routine returns true if Feature would be matched by a fast match table built from Proto.

Parameters

Feature	feature to be "fast matched" to proto
Proto	proto being "fast matched" against

Globals:

• training_tangent_bbox_pad bounding box pad tangent to proto
• training_orthogonal_bbox_pad bounding box pad orthogonal to proto

Returns

true if feature could match Proto.

FindClosestExistingProto()

int FindClosestExistingProto	(	CLASS_TYPE	Class,
		int	NumMerged[],
		PROTOTYPE *	Prototype
	)

This routine searches through all of the prototypes in Class and returns the id of the proto which would provide the best approximation of Prototype. If no close approximation can be found, NO_PROTO is returned.

Parameters

Class	class to search for matching old proto in
NumMerged	# of protos merged into each proto of Class
Prototype	new proto to find match for

Globals: none

Returns

Id of closest proto in Class or NO_PROTO.
