Hello,

I am not sure what to use for the Procrusted template for the ParaToSPHARMMesh step of the pipeline.

For the flipTemplate for cases after the first, I used the _SPHARM.coef file computed from ParaToSPHARM. Does it matter if it is the _SPHARM.coef or the SPHARM_ellalign.coef?

For the regTemplate, I am not sure what mesh file to use for Procrustes alignment. I attempted using the triangular surface mesh computed from GenParaMesh (_surf.vtk) but it gave me this error:

vnl_error_matrix_dimension:vnl_tag_mul: Dimensions [3,32062] and [4002,3] do not match

For the Procrustes, do I only apply it to the 2nd case and after? Also, just to confirm, do I need to convert the .vtk to .meta to use as template in the command line?

As for ShapeMANCOVA, would it be possible to compare several images individually of the same item (imaged at sequential times) to each other instead of comparing groups?

Thanks,
Sylvia
