We have used 3D semi-landmarks (random points on surfaces) to describe exocranial and supracerebral shape and asymmetry with superquadrics. Shiang, T.Y., H.J. Sommer, and R.B. Eckhardt. 1993. Quantification of Cranial Surface Asymmetry using Superquadrics Biomed. Eng. Appl. Basis Comm. 5(1):20-37. We have a new manuscript that was recently accepted for journal publication if you are interested. Joe Sommer *********************************************************** H.J.
