Dear community, I'm studying outlines that have spines on them and the spines (especially some extreme cases with very long spines relative to the rest) affect the result of superimposition of the semi-landmarks quite a lot (a.k.a. the 'Pinocchio effect'), I hope I can get some suggestion on the method to use, as well as the software implementation. (I work on 2D outlines, currently using sliding semi-landmark method / elliptic Fourier analysis in R).
I'm wondering whether there is an implementation of resistant-fit superimposition (with sliding) for semi-landmarks to deal with data like this? Or is there any other method that will not be affected by the 'Pinocchio' effect (as much)? Literature or experience on similar issue?
