Summary on Grant Application Form |

Template matching is a commonly used technique for characterising changes to a physical artefact over time. In this approach, the artefact is initially represented by a nominal form, which is typically a prescribed curve or surface. This nominal form is then compared, or matched with a set of data measured in the surface of the artefact.Template matching has applications in a wide range of engineering disciplines, particularly metrology, the science of measurement. For example, template matching can be used to identify whether or not a manufactured part is fit for purpose, or to assess the wear over time of a component.The current numerical algorithums for template matching concentrate on the case where the solution is both clearly defined and unique. However, in many template matching problems the solution may be ill-conditioned or non-unique, and the existing algorithums are often unable to find an appropriate solution in these cases. Therefore, there is a need for research into the ill-conditioned template matching problem, in order to provide novel and reliable techniques for engineers and scientists involved in template matching problems. This project proposes to address this issue in two ways. First, novel and reliable numerical algorithms will be developed for solving the ill-conditioned template matching problem. Second, guidelines for data measuring procedures which reduce the problem of ill-conditioning will be produced.
