  • Method and apparatus for multi-distant weighted scoring system
    Patent number: 7526412
    Abstract: Methods of comparing a plurality of measurements to a template are described. Measurements are compared piecewise (element-by-element) and a proportion of successful comparisons at each of a plurality of distance scaling factors is calculated. The proportions are subjected to a nonlinear transformation, then normalized and combined into a weighted sum. The weighted sum is compared with a threshold value to establish the result of the comparison. Software and systems to implement embodiments of the invention are also described and claimed.
