Body shape is an important morphological trait in aquaculture. This study investigates the
use of Elliptic Fourier descriptors (EFDs) analysis and ellipse fitting estimators to assess …

The description of shape in Silene seeds is based on adjectives coined by naturalists in the
19th century. The expressions reniform, dorso plana, and dorso canaliculata were applied in …

The description of seed shape by comparison with geometric models allows shape
quantification, providing the means for an accurate comparison between different species or …

Surface shape feature is a very important index of seed classification. A method to calculate
the three dimensional characteristics of the rice seed based on its surface point cloud was …

Shape is an important morphological characteristic both in animals and plants. In the
present study, we examined a method for predicting biological contour shapes based on …
