Sexual Monomorphism and Size‐Related Shape Change in the Beak of the Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) [PDF]
Veterinary Medicine and ScienceBackground The avian beak is a functionally important structure shaped by ecological demands. In highly specialized filter‐feeders such as flamingos, subtle variation in beak size and shape may influence feeding performance.

Subspace Procrustes Analysis [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Vision, 2015 Procrustes Analysis (PA) has been a popular technique to align and build 2-D statistical models of shapes. Given a set of 2-D shapes PA is applied to remove rigid transformations. Then, a non-rigid 2-D model is computed by modeling (e.g., PCA) the residual.
