Fuzzy matching algorithm based printed material imitation design method and system

The present invention provides a fuzzy matching algorithm based printed material imitation design method and system. According to the method provided by the present invention, fuzzy matching is performed between an imitation design layout and an imitation pattern layout, so as to obtain a differential value between the layouts above, and the matching is scored according to a mapping of the differential value. The method and system provided by the present invention are applicable to not only querying the matching score as a reference during a process of a background designer executing imitation design, but also performing verification on an imitation design layout provided by the background designer according to the matching score by an on-line printed material customized service website, for example, only when the imitation design layout reaches or is higher than a predetermined matching score, the imitation design layout can be considered as an eligible imitation design layout by the website and provided for a user.
