Momocs Package: Outline Analysis using R.
Description
Momocs is intended to ease and popularize shape analysis of outlines (especially using elliptical Fourier analysis). It mostly hinges on the core functions developped in Morphometrics with R (Claude, 2008). From outline extraction of images and elliptical analysis, radii variation and tangent angle Fourier calculation to multivariate analysis and calculation of the morphological space, Momocs provides a complete and convenient toolkit to specialists within every field that are, or may be, interested in morphological comparisons of outlines.
Have a look to Momocs' website: http://www.vincentbonhomme.fr/Momocs. You will find a graphical introduction to Momocs.References
The companion paper of Momcs is submitted.
Have a look to Julien's book that greatly inspired Momocs: Claude, J. (2008) Morphometrics with R, Use R! series, Springer 316 pp.
