Description
Morphometrics is the statistical study of biological shape and shape change. Its richest data are landmarks, points, such as the bridge of the nose, that have biological names as well as geometric locations. This book is the first systematic survey of morphometric methods for landmark data.
Reviews'... will certainly be a landmark volume in this difficult but important field of shape analysis.' K. V. Mardia, ISI Short Book Reviews
