Canonical Correlations Analysis is extended to analyse {3D} landmarks and the correlations are used as similarity measures for landmark clustering. A novel Active Shape Model is proposed targeting growth modelling by applying Partial Least Squares regression in decomposing the Procrustes tangent space. Shape centroid size is applied as dependent variable but the method generalizes to handle other, both uni- and multivariate, effects probing for high covariation wrt. shape variation." }
