Table 1. Guidelines to the scores currently available in TEMPy .

Score Name Reference Note
Cross-correlation coefficient CCC Roseman (2000)  
Segment-based CCC SCCC Pandurangan et al. (2014) Useful for comparing specific regions in multiple fits (Pandurangan et al., 2014; Atherton et al., 2014; Lukoyanova et al., 2015).
Laplacian-filtered CCC LAP Wriggers Chacn (2001) Useful for resolutions worse than 1015.
Mutual information score MI Vasishtan Topf (2011)  
Segment-based MI SMI   Useful for comparing specific regions in multiple fits.
Envelope score ENV Vasishtan Topf (2011) Useful at high resolution. Very fast to calculate and therefore useful in screening fits in large assemblies.
Normal vector score NV Vasishtan Topf (2011), Ceulemans Russell (2004) Sensitive to edge detection.
Normal vector score with Sobel filter NV-S    
Chamfer distance CD Vasishtan Topf (2011) Highly sensitive to edge detection. Not recommended for segmented maps.
