Dear morphometricians, I am working with a shape set that consists of shapes with non-isotropic point distribution. I would like to transform my shapes into near isotropic distributed landmark points. In Dryden & Mardia's Statistical Shape Analysis book, chapter 7 on Tangent Space Inference, the development of Procrustes techniques to deal with non-isotropic covariance structures is still a topic of current research. It's been 10 years since the book was published, so I'm wondering if somebody can help me to identify publications about this specific topic, esp. ones that describe the technique to transform non-isotropic to isotropic representation? Also that I'm trying to get Goodall's 1995 paper: Goodall, C. R. (1995), Procrustes methods in the statistical analysis of shape revisited. In Mardia, K. V. and Gill. C. A., eds., "Current Issues in Statistical Shape Analysis", pages 18-33, Leeds. Univ. of Leeds Press. but I couldn't find it anywhere, even at ISI Web of Knowledge. So, could somebody kindly enough to send me a copy of this paper? I'd be very grateful to have that. Thank you, A. Suinesiaputra ----------------------------------------- Leiden Univ.
