Dear Avi,
elaborating further also based on Jim's answer, some open
questions/considerations that you might entertain are:
- if you intend to use sliding semilandmarks (which in general sounds
like a good idea), how are certain points such as 1,39,41,55 going to be
slid? (i.e., relative to
Hi James,
Thank you for your fast answer.
I'll continue to mark the landmarks as separated sublets, i.e. head and
tail.
1. Is it ok to use landmark 40 (intersection of the side line and the
dorsal connection of the tail fin) as a common mark point to create a comb
fan for both tail
Bending of long slender organisms (or other structures) can be an important
practical problem. Changes due to bending could dominate the results.
Separating sets of landmarks into more rigid sublets can help as long as the
endpoints of the subsets are homologous and not arbitrary or dependent
