Step 3: The particles were ranked by similarity index in ascending order and the top
two were assigned a closeness value of 1.
Step 4: The previous two steps were repeated for different particle characteristics
and the closeness values for each of the five particles was summed. The particle with
the largest closeness value was identified as the matching particle.
