Hi Bernd,
Semilandmarks are useful when you are working with (presumably) homologous contours or surfaces that have few or no well-defined landmarks. To give examples from primatological studies (my area), the supraorbital torus, zygomatic arch, and calvaria are often analyzed using semilandmarks. Hope this is helpful.

Hey guys,
sorry for asking such a basic question, however, I have to admit that I don´t understand what semilandmarks are there for.
Why should I use semilandmarks when I can use real landmarks as well? - I have the feeling that I miss an important point there.
Can somebody tell me what makes semilandmarks important and when it is reccomended to use them?
Best wishes and thanks in advance,
Bernd
