Momocs (version 0.2-6)

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 slideshow plus some vignettes and other useful links.
