This volume represents an ongoing series entitled Biological Shape
Analysis, of which this is the 4th Edition. These proceedings
represent state-of-the-art research in the field of biology,
broadly-based, that deal with the quantitative analysis of the
shape of the biological form. These numerical analyses include
Fourier analytic methods, wavelets, neural networks, machine
vision, machine learning, median axis transforms, spectral
clustering, genome-wide association studies, 3D surface mapping, as
well as more traditional morphometric approaches. Studies included
are drawn from research in agricultural genetics, anatomy,
anthropology, botany, dentistry, entomology, forensics, human
evolution, paleontology, primatology, to name a few.The shape of
forms can be considered of central importance in terms of
identification, comparison, and classification of biological
organisms. These proceedings, of which this is the fourth one, are
unique in that they deal extensively with a wide range of organisms
in biology, including both fauna and flora. They bring together
diverse practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines. This
represents a major departure from the current emphasis on
specialization in the biological sciences. It is of particular
importance to note that these issues dealing with shape analysis of
biological structures are found to be common across very diverse
disciplines and these proceedings are the first ones to highlight
this.There are no volumes currently available that are as
broadly-based as these proceedings in dealing with the
quantification of shape analysis. (1) These volumes are unique in
their diversity in covering the biological disciplines; (2) The
emphasis on numerical approaches; and (3) the numerous
state-of-the-art research papers.
