# Size Scoring Methods

If you are using an edge pair model, you can score edge pattern candidates based on how much the width between the edges of the edge pattern candidate varies from the width between the edges of the edge model. You can define a size scoring method to be absolute, in which case the raw score will be returned as an absolute size difference in pixels.

If you would like to consider the size difference relative to the size of the model, you can define a relative size scoring method. In this case the raw score will be normalized so that a value of 1.0 means that the size difference was equal to the size of the model.
