Dr. Cardini has written asking for "references on the
sliding landmark technique." We know what he means, but
that's not their right name. I presume he's asking about
SEMILANDMARKS, points that have been assigned geometric
homology along curves and that are then treated as if they
were proper landmarks in subsequent geometric morphometric
maneuvers. Here's the list from my resume, which
assigns that homology based on a thin-plate spline.

In exchange, I'd be interested in learning of literature
that doesn't have Bookstein as one author. There are other
ways to generate semilandmarks (i.e., other energy functionals
according to which to slide), and I've always hoped that somebody
would explore these possibilities systematically.
