Reliability of measurements in geometric and traditional morphometrics of human skull

Original language description

The aim of this study is to confront the methods of traditional (classical) morphometrics (TM) with geometric morphometrics (GM). TM applies direct measurements of an object using some anthropometric instruments. In GM, object is analyzed in a virtual space and except the metric characteristics it is allowed to measure also the object?s shape independently of its position, orientation, and/or size. Furthermore, the study is focused on the classification of measurement errors in TM and GM, as well as thepossibilities of their minimization. An overview and classification of (semi)landmarks depending on their reliability are proposed. In 2D analysis, only three types of landmarks are differentiated but in 3D approach nine types of (semi)landmarks are described. Selected curves and surface patches on the skull are also defined. A comparison of 2D and 3D analyses shows that the 2D photos (projections) are suitable for measuring only if the skull itself is not available.
