changes (Jolicoeur <strong>and</strong> Mosimann, 1960). Allometric study (Huxley, 1932; Mosi-<br />

mann, 1970) is another approach to shape analysis that assesses the shape varia-<br />

tions associated with the size <strong>and</strong> growth via the power-law relation.<br />

Recent advancement in mathematical shape theory arises from the seminal work by<br />

Kendall (1977) on the Brownian motion in the complex projective spaces, which is<br />

later <strong>de</strong>veloped in more <strong>de</strong>tails (Kendall, 1984, 1989), <strong>and</strong> the algorithmic <strong>de</strong>velop-<br />

ment of Thompson’s grid method <strong>and</strong> the statistics of <strong>de</strong>formation by Bookstein<br />

(1978b,a, 1986). Up-to-date introduction on this subject may be found in the<br />

monographs by Bookstein (1991), Small (1996), Dry<strong>de</strong>n <strong>and</strong> Mardia (1998), <strong>and</strong><br />

Kendall et al. (1999).<br />

We follow the notions <strong>and</strong> <strong>de</strong>finitions of shape spaces used by Dry<strong>de</strong>n <strong>and</strong> Mardia<br />

(1998) <strong>and</strong> Kendall et al. (1999) in this thesis. A configuration X of k l<strong>and</strong>marks<br />

in the m-dimension Eucli<strong>de</strong>an space can be represented by its k × m Cartesian<br />

coordinates. The configuration space comprises of all non<strong>de</strong>generate k-ads, which
