Dataset Description

2896 presacral vertebrae meshes from 94 specimens representing all families of lizards and a few snakes.

atlas_in/: meshes and landmarks used as an input to SlicerMorphoWeave for SSM construction and alignment
atlas_out/: aligned & scaled meshes and landmarks, SSM, and dense correspondences produced by SlicerMorphoWeave
vertebrae_meshes.zip: final mesh dataset used to train models run_v72, run_v73c, run_v73h (meshes are aligned and scaled so only shape differences are learned)

Data Use

Can be used to do train NSM models for geometric morphometrics, shape completion, and classification of squamate vertebrae.
