Re: [MORPHMET2] How to transform Procrustes distances to mlilimeters

2022-10-07 Thread Paolo Piras
I wrote this function in R many years ago that returns the desired pairwise interlandmarks distances for all individuals present in an array; a single matrix configuration is allowed too ; put a vector 1:n with n the number of landmarks to have them all. I think it could be improved in terms of

[MORPHMET2] Paper about geodesics in the TPS space

2022-05-06 Thread Paolo Piras
Hi folks, here: https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7390/10/9/1562/pdf you can find a new paper about geodesics in the TPS space Riemannian manifold proposed by our group some years ago. We define an analitical solution for the affine subspace and we show, via optimization methods, the efficacy of TPS

Hi folks, we are developing a strategy to properly set mu1 and mu2 parameters when looking for geodesics in the TPS space. I write you in order to ask for repositories of 2D and 3D real data digitized via homologous landmarking. More than one dataset is welcome. We look for a very large

Hi folks, here https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10851-021-01030-6 (in open access) you can find this paper that compares different approaches for the estimation of deformation and for parallel transport. Explaining that this topic is related more than it seems to a previous one regarding

2021-05-12 Thread Paolo Piras
"Of course, there can be exceptions and a biological signal can be local and be represented well by a single landmark or a single interlandmark distance." I think that a proper evaluation of local deformation could be effective in interpreting the "localness" of both shape and deformation

Sorry for the splitted message; Also...in the cited paper all metrics can be now performed in both 2D and 3D; in the 3D case the two sub-cases of "surface/shell" computation or "fully 3D volume" computation are faced and differently approached (TPS first and second derivatives in 3D cannot be
