[MORPHMET] How to include new specimens in TPSdig and information on EDMA software

2015-07-03 Thread Miguel Eduardo Delgado Burbano
Dear morphometricians

I have a couple of quite simple questions

1)  Once one has digitized a set on landmarks/semilandmarks in a series of
photographs it is possible to include new specimens?. I mean, if I have a
digitized dataset and I want to include new specimens it is possible?. I
tried but I only found the way to exclude specimens/individuals and/or
landmarks in TPSdig2 and TPSutil.

2) I want to know if there exists a new version of EDMA software. I want to
run analyses in EDMA but in PCs with updated versions of windows (7 and 8)
the old version of WindEDMA may present some incompatibilities.


thanks in advance
cheers

Miguel

[MORPHMET] Method to digitize 3D semilandmarks using microscribe

2016-01-11 Thread Miguel Eduardo Delgado Burbano
Dear all

Happy 2016!! I am conducting a geometric morphometric research to evaluate
the cranial and mandibular shape variation in a sample of modern humans. I
am using a microscribe digitizer. I would like to describe as best as
possible the shape variation so I am interested in 3D semilandmarks.  So I
want to know if somebody have used a semi or automated method to digitize
3D semilandmarks using a microscribe. Maddux and Franciscus 2009 J Hum Evol
56 161-174 describe a quite interesting method using a LCD projector and a
grid, however such method does not allow to digitize optimally the
semilandmarks along a curvature for instance the middle line of the cranial
vault from a lateral view or the complete vault in the same view. So if any
may share his/her own method I would be very gratefull. Thanks in advance

best

Miguel

[MORPHMET] 3D surface scanner information

2016-01-18 Thread Miguel Eduardo Delgado Burbano
Hello everyone

I am interested to obtain a 3D surface scanner which will be used to study
hominin teeth and skulls. Does anyone have any experience, suggestions
and/or recommendations?

For instance price, resolution, peformance, manipulation (portable)


thanks in advance

Re: [MORPHMET] Mahalanobis distance in cluster analysis of shape variables

2016-01-31 Thread Miguel Eduardo Delgado Burbano
Usually researchers use small sample sizes for distinct reasons in my case
because I study archaeological and paleontological derived samples. The
practical problem mentioned by James could be partially solved correcting
the D2 distances for small sample size, that is, calculating an unbiased
Mahalanobis distance ∆2 following Marcus L. 1993. (Some aspects of
multivariate statistics for morphometrics. In: Marcus LF, Bello E,
García-Valdecasas A, editors. Contributions to morphometrics. Museo
Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid. p 99-130).

Yes, my suggestion was not on the problem of Elahep in itself but to which
you mentioned with regard to the distance D2 and sample sizes.

[MORPHMET] Software to join multiple slices derived from Computer Tomography

2016-02-17 Thread Miguel Eduardo Delgado Burbano
Dear All

I recently obtained several CT scans from hominin crania. I used 3DSlicer
4.5 to robtain 3d meshes of such crania. However I noted that in my
database there are two kinds fo files. One of them have a .hdr extension
which can be succesfully loaded into 3DSlicer which alllowed to obtain 3D
meshes.  The other type of file contains multiple slices (with extension
.DCM) which when they were loaded individually in 3DSlicer did not allowed
to reconstruct the 3D model. It may be necessary to edit (i.e.join) slices
before I can load into 3DSlicer, Someone knows what procedure should I use
to join the slices? Any suggestions of some software or tips on how to get
the 3D model from those slices?

Thanks in advance

Miguel

Dear Ariadne and Thomas

Thank you so much for your suggestions.

I  have actually a 3D surface David SLS-3 scanner, however its use is
almost restricted to the desktop, so is diffcult to transport that hardware
to museum collections. Thomas do you have some experience with the scanners
that you mention? I am interested to scan hominin and hominoid mandibles
and skulls. From some colleagues from France I know that some Artec series
produce some errors in images derived from osseous structures. Thank you
again for your help

Re: [MORPHMET] Script to read Avizo landmarks and B-splines

2019-04-15 Thread Miguel Eduardo Delgado Burbano
Dear Antonio,

Thank you very much for your functions. All of them work very well. I
realized that a simple modification of the function read.landmarks from the
nat package allows load into the R console Avizo Landmarks in ascii format
but not semilandmark curves. Again thanks for your kind help.

All best,

Miguel
