Description
Budget an ordered one-dimensional strip mosaic without estimating registration.
Dental laboratory and prosthetic research records distinguish measured dimensions, reference targets, material quantities, and evidence flags. Ratios and residuals depend on those measurement conventions. An idealized bench term or metadata match is separate from fabrication quality and clinical fit or suitability.
Budget an ordered one-dimensional strip mosaic without estimating registration.
When to use this tool
Use Prosthetic Scan Stitch Overlap Budget when you need the stated laboratory, bench, geometry, or device-record term from already supplied measurements or annotations.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter stripWidths, adjacentOverlaps. Keep parallel arrays aligned. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read grossWidth, overlapWidth, stitchedWidth. Use the output convention below.
Sum positive stripWidths and aligned adjacentOverlaps for grossWidth and overlapWidth, then subtract for stitchedWidth. Require one fewer overlaps than strips and each overlap within its adjacent widths.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| stripWidths | Strip Widths | Required. Array of finite number; maximum items 256. |
| adjacentOverlaps | One nonnegative overlap per neighboring strip pair. | Required. Array of finite number; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| grossWidth | Gross Width | Required. Finite number. |
| overlapWidth | Overlap Width | Required. Finite number. |
| stitchedWidth | Stitched Width | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- This is a one-dimensional adjacent-overlap budget. It does not validate scan registration, accumulated distortion, nonadjacent overlap, anatomical accuracy, or a clinical model.
- The field tables state structural bounds; the mechanics also specify cross-field constraints. Malformed inputs and unsupported domains cause errors. A successful false flag, empty branch value, or zero placeholder has the meaning stated above and is distinct from an input error.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use calibrated measurements and an appropriate complete geometric, material, or laboratory method when the task requires more than one bench term. Clinical suitability requires a separate professional assessment.
