Usage Examples English
  • These landmarks are aligned using the generalized procrustes analysis, which minimizes the least squared error between the points.
  • When both the translation and rotation are actually performed, the algorithm is sometimes called partial Procrustes superimposition (see also orthogonal Procrustes problem).
  • The ordinary Euclidean case is known as the orthogonal Procrustes problem or Wahba's problem (when observations are weighted to account for varying uncertainties).
  • The Wasserstein metric has a formal link with Procrustes analysis, with application to chirality measures, and to shape analysis.
  • This measure is often called Procrustes distance. Notice that other more complex definitions of Procrustes distance, and other measures of "shape difference" are sometimes used in the literature.

  • Carlos Wu appears in the Beowulf Shaeffer stories The Borderland of Sol and Procrustes, and is mentioned in the stories Grendel and Ghost.
  • Other methods suitable for this type of data are available. Procrustes analysis is compared to the MFA in.
  • Georges Schehadé was mentioned to have influenced Nassim Nicholas Taleb in Taleb's youth, mentioned the postface of The Bed of Procrustes.
  • Procrustes-based analyses have some limitations. One is that the Procrustes superimposition uses a least-squares criterion to find the optimal rotation; consequently, variation that is localized to a single landmark will be smeared out across many.
