Facial growth and development trajectories based on three-dimensional images: geometric morphometrics with a deformation perspective

Developmental changes of facial shape are commonly investigated through geometric morphometrics. A limitation with this approach is the inability to investigate patterns of morphological changes at local scale. This could be addressed through quantifying the deformation required to deform one shape...
