Greetings,
I am an
undergraduate working on a project that requires geometric morphometrics. I want
to analyze the shape of stingray teeth specifically the sharp point. The tooth
is shaped much like a triangle and would like to determine if pointiness of
the tooth changes within my groups of specimens. The software I am using is TPS.
I am somewhat familiar with use and some features of the software however I do
not know the correct process. To analyze I am using IMP that
is useful when using TPS software. What I want to know is, how can I
determine the sharpness (pointiness) of the tooth using TPS? What is the process
that I would have to take? Then how can I analyze for significant difference? I
know IMP is the analysis part but I am not exactly sure how to correctly use it.
I am very new to this and do not understand much of how to correctly proceed. If
anyone can explain it and how I can perform the analysis please let me know.
Also if there is something better (or easier) that I could be doing I am open to
it.
Thank You,
Eloise Cave
