This article deals with automatic object recognition. The goal is that in a certain grey-level image, possibly containing many objects, a certain object can be recognized and localized, based upon its shape. The assumption is that this shape has no special characteristics on which a dedicated recognition algorithm can be based (e.g. if we know that the object is circular, we could use a Hough transform or if we know that it is the only object with grey level 90, we can simply use thresholding). Our starting point is an object with a random shape. The image in which the object is searched is called the Search Image. A well known technique for this is Template Matching, which is described first.

From the preface : The European Commission supports Member States by providing them with recommendations, guidelines, information and good practices. For years, the European Commission has stimulated Member States to develop matching platforms to efficiently support sellers and buyers of SMEs in ownership change. A matching platform is a valuable link in the sale/acquisition chain of SMEs. Over the ten past years, not only the European Commission has been pointing out the essential role played by platforms. In many Member States matching platforms started or matured, either in the public sector, by private organizations or both (semi-public). Matching platforms are mentioned in all the EU business transfer reference documents and more particularly in the Small Business Act and its Review in 2011, the 2006 Communication, the 2013 Expert Group on SME Transfers and the recent Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan. Special attention is devoted to the important challenge of efficient matching platforms in Europe. As observed in the latest (2013) EU Expert Group on Business Transfers: There is no development in the type of matching platforms recommended by the 2006 Expert Group. The “landscape” of matching platforms in Europe has changed over the past 10 years, with, among others, the co-existence of private on-line platforms alongside the public platforms. There is a need for an update in quality standards and for the consultation of matching platforms themselves in order to understand their working and identify good practices.

The purpose of this article is to explore innovative and adaptive ways of matching people with jobs in the context of a Dutch policy initiative aimed at the skills mismatch in the region of Amsterdam. This is an important and urgent issue because of the challenges of the future labor market, in which technological disruption and socio-economic forces affect the content and conditions of jobs and occupations. Powered by digital technology and data-driven approaches it is possible to design ‘?ne-grained’ matching systems based on skills or competences. The article combines an exploration of occupational taxonomies, skills frameworks and good practices of these skills-based applications with a theoretical discussion on the relevance and adaptations of Person-Environment Fit and matching theories. The article shows that these new forms of innovative, adaptive and ?uid matching have bene?ts for policy-makers, employers and jobseekers alike. In the discussion section some critical remarks are made on the matching theory and its application in contemporary instruments and tools. https://www.ojs.tnkul.pl/index.php/jpepsi/article/view/9624

In order to lower dropout rates and stimulate student success in higher education, the Dutch government implemented a new law demanding that every higher education institute offer a matching activity to applying students. This article evaluates how students and teachers experience this matching activity. Data were collected in a Dutch university of applied sciences through questionnaire (students: n = 1711, teachers: n = 52) and interview research (students: n = 136, teachers, n = 36). Results provide insights into useful and improvable aspects of the matching procedure. It also reveals a tension related to a ‘conflicting perspective’: the matching activity can be used as a selection-oriented instrument or as a guidance instrument, which leads to different perceptions on the effectiveness of the instrument.

This paper describes the work that is done by a group of I3 students at Philips CFT in Eindhoven, Netherlands. I3 is an initiative of Fontys University of Professional Education also located in Eindhoven. The work focuses on the use of computer vision in motion control. Experiments are done with several techniques for object recognition and tracking, and with the guidance of a robot movement by means of computer vision. These experiments involve detection of coloured objects, object detection based on specific features, template matching with automatically generated templates, and interaction of a robot with a physical object that is viewed by a camera mounted on the robot.
