Hi Folks, I'm looking for a method or program by which to "stitch" together 2D landmarked photos of a specimen to create a 3D landmark configuration. For example, if I have photos of a specimen from dorsal, ventral and lateral views, and can place a few of the same landmarks on 2 of the 3 photos, is it possible to combine them using the common landmarks? I'm working with photos from various databases so I don't have access to the actual specimens. I also won't have scale bars for all of them, but I assume that's not critical since I'll be using Procrustes-based analyses to compare shape.
I was hoping that by stitching them into a 3D object, I could deal with slight differences in alignment of the specimens in the photos.
