Hi all, StereoMorph version 1.5 is now available on CRAN <http://cran.r-project.org/package=StereoMorph>. StereoMorph (Olsen and Westneat 2015 <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/2041-210X.12326/abstract>) is an R package that includes tools for 3D landmark/curve reconstruction using a stereo camera set-up as well as a browser-based application for easy digitization of 2D landmarks and curves <http://home.uchicago.edu/~aolsen/software/digitizing.shtml>. Version 1.5 includes several major updates to streamline the workflow and improve function performance (details below) and comes with a brand new PDF tutorial <http://home.uchicago.edu/~aolsen/software/stereomorph/StereoMorph%203D%20Tutorial.pdf> (3 MB) and example project (download <http://home.uchicago.edu/~aolsen/software/stereomorph/Bird%203D%20project.zip>; 18 MB).
General updates in v1.5 (2D and 3D): - Faster and more robust checkerboard corner detection - Shortcuts to facilitate manual digitization of landmarks/curves in consecutive video frames - Digitizing application features new dropdown menu in digitizing application to easily move among photographs and improved cross-browser compatibility Updates in v1.5 for stereo digitizing and reconstruction (3D): - Dropdown menus in digitizing application to easily navigate among different aspects and views - The ability to project the epipolar line when digitizing - Faster and more robust curve reconstruction - A single function (calibrateCameras) for stereo camera calibration, including checkerboard corner detection and error assessment - A single function (digitizeImages) to open the digitizing application for stereo image sets, including multiple specimens - A single function (reconstructStereoSets) that reconstructs landmarks and curves, places a specified number of evenly spaced points on each curve, and unifies landmarks/curves - A single function (reflectMissingShapes) to reflect missing bilateral landmarks/curves in a series of shape sets - A single function (alignShapesToMidline) to align a set or sets of bilateral landmarks/curves to the midline plane - A single function (testCalibration) to test stereo calibration accuracy Many thanks to the morphometrics community for your valuable feedback! I'm already at work on v1.6 so comments/questions/complaints welcome! : ) Best, Aaron Aaron M.
