Hi All, I'm trying to find a program or method by which to convert landmarked 2D photos of skulls (dorsal, lateral, ventral views) into 3D configurations for geometric morphometric analyses. I thought this might be possible if a few of the same landmarks could be aligned in 2 of 3 views, for example a handful of the same points on the dorsal and lateral images, same for lateral and ventral. We are working from archived photos, some of which do not have scale bars and may not be properly standardized as far as orientation, so I was hoping a 3D Procrustes supermimposion would get around those issues.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how? Thanks for any help! Christy -- MORPHMET may be accessed via its webpage at http://www.morphometrics.org To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected].
