Lineösszehasonlító

Lineösszehasonlító (Hungarian for “line comparator”) is a term used in Hungarian-language technical contexts to refer to a device, module, or method that compares lines or line-like entities. It can denote a hardware instrument, a software component, or a mathematical procedure that determines whether two lines are related by equality, parallelism, intersection, or another relationship.

The word is a compound of line and összehasonlító (comparator). It is not a universally standardized technical term; its precise meaning depends on context and field, including geometry, computer vision, computer-aided design (CAD), geographic information systems (GIS), and text processing.

In mathematics, lines may be represented in general form a x + b y + c = 0. Line comparison includes checking for parallelism (a1 b2 = a2 b1), equality (the equations are proportional), or finding the intersection. For line segments, practitioners may assess overlap, containment, or proximity. In computational contexts, line comparison relies on vector or coordinate representations, with operations such as slope calculation, angle measurement, cross products, determinants, or distance calculations.

Applications of line comparison concepts appear in geometric modeling, CAD workflows, GIS feature analysis, computer vision for line detection and matching, and OCR or text-layout evaluation where line alignment matters. Related concepts include line, line segment, comparator, and distance between lines.
