Re: [MORPHMET] Measurements to Landmarks
Dear Edgar, Back in the 1990's, I have used this procedure to convert several datasets of measurements into landmark coordinates. I used a program which implemented the method devised by Carpenter et al. written in Basic for MS-DOS (a long gone programming language for a long gone operating system). The algorithm has been subsequently implemented by Dennis Slice in earlier versions of the Morpheus software. The method works quite well and I have published a few studies using it. If you are interested, I can provide you with a copy of the program I used, although using an earlier version of Morpheus would perhaps be a better idea as this software runs on more recent machines.

RE: [MORPHMET] Measurements to Landmarks
Edgar, That would depend on how the measurements intersect with one another. For a series of truss-like measurements, it is possible. See the paper by Carpenter et al. 1996 in the white book. If I recall correctly, this, and a related approach was implemented in Morpheus, though I have not investigated that recently to know if it is in the current version. Dean Dr. Dean C.
