Dear list,
I'm trying to figure out how to analyze 3D semilandmarks on a surface
(specifically, a semi-landmark digitization of articular surfaces). If I
understand things correctly, it is best to include a sliding algorithm
in the Procrustes fitting stage (when all the semilandmark
configurations are being translated, rotated and scaled). Am I correct
in thinking this? And does anyone know of any software that incorporates
sliding in a plane for 3D semilandmarks?
Thank you.
Yours,
