Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples
Conducts Procrustes superimposition to align 3D shapes with or without scaling to centroid size. Skips any missing values in computation of Procrustes coordinates.
1 2 | procrustes(A, scale = TRUE, scaleDelta = FALSE, maxiter = 1000,
tolerance = 1e-05)
|
A |
N x 3 x M matrix where N is the number of landmarks, 3 is the number of dimensions, and M is the number of specimens |
scale |
Logical indicating whether objects should be scaled to unit centroid size |
scaleDelta |
Logical determining whether deltaa should be scaled by the total number of landmarks. |
maxiter |
Maximum number of iterations to attempt |
tolerance |
Difference between two iterations that will cause the search to stop. |
A number of computations are run until the difference between two iterations is less than tolerance
.
The more specimens and landmarks you have, the less each landmark is allowed to move before this tolerance
is reached. Setting scaleDelta = TRUE
will make the alignment run faster but have potentially less
well aligned results. But the alignment between a large and small array of shapes should be more comparable
with scaleDelta = TRUE
. However, preliminary tests imply that run time scales linearly with
scaleDelta
set to TRUE
or FALSE
.
A new (N x 3 x M) array, where each 3d vector has been rotated and translated to minimize distances among specimens, and scaled to unit centroid size if requested.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | # Make an array with 6 specimens and 20 landmarks
A <- array(rep(rnorm(6 * 20, sd = 20), each = 6) + rnorm(20 * 3 * 6 ),
dim = c(20, 3, 6))
# Align the data (although it is already largely aligned)
aligned <- procrustes(A)
