riemdist: Riemannian shape distance

In shapes: Statistical Shape Analysis

Riemannian shape distance

Description

Calculates the Riemannian shape distance rho between two configurations

Usage

riemdist(x, y, reflect=FALSE)

Arguments

x	k x m matrix (or complex k-vector for 2D data) where k = number of landmarks and m = no of dimensions
y	k x m matrix (or complex k-vector for 2D data)
reflect	Logical. If reflect = TRUE then reflection invariance is included.

Value

The Riemannian shape distance rho between the two configurations. Note 0 <= rho <= pi/2 if no reflection invariance. (for the Riemannian size-and-shape distance use ssriemdist)
