Procrustes Analysis is a statistical shape analysis method used to compare the shapes of objects by removing differences in size, rotation, and translation. It superimposes datasets to achieve the best fit, minimizing the sum of squared differences between corresponding points, which is crucial in fields like morphometrics and computer vision.

Morphometrics is the quantitative analysis of form, a concept that encompasses the size and shape of organisms or their parts. It is crucial in fields like biology, anthropology, and paleontology for studying evolutionary relationships, functional morphology, and developmental biology.

Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that enables computers to interpret and make decisions based on visual data from the world. It combines techniques from image processing, machine learning, and neural networks to allow machines to recognize objects, track movements, and understand scenes in a manner similar to human vision.
