try to identify bilateral landmarks and sort them by side

Description

try to identify bilateral landmarks and sort them by side

Usage

getSides(x, tol = 3, pcAlign = TRUE, icpiter = 100, ...)

Arguments

x	matrix containing landmarks (see details)
tol	maximal distance allowed between original and mirrored set.
pcAlign	logical: if TRUE orginal and mirrored landmarks will be initally aligned by their PC-axes
icpiter	integer: number of iterations in ICP alignment.
...	more arguments passed to mirror.

Details

This function mirrors the landmark set and aligns it to the original. Then it tries to find pairs. If you have a sample, run a Procrustes registration first (without scaling to unit centroid size, or you later have to adapt tol - see examples) and then use the mean as it is usually more symmetrical.

Value

returns a list containing

side1	integer vector containing indices of landmarks on one side
side2	integer vector containing indices of landmarks on the other side
unilat	integer vector containing indices unilateral landmarks

Examples

data(boneData)
proc <- procSym(boneLM,CSinit=FALSE)
mysides <- getSides(proc$mshape)
if (interactive()){
#visualize bilateral landmarks
deformGrid3d(boneLM[mysides$side1,,1],boneLM[mysides$side2,,1])
## visualize unilateral landmarks
rgl::spheres3d(boneLM[mysides$unilat,,1],radius=0.5)
}
