Assessment of shape changes of mistletoe berries: a new software approach to automatize the parameterization of path curve shaped contours.

Photographs of mistletoe (Viscum album L.) berries taken by a permanently fixed camera during their development in autumn were subjected to an outline shape analysis by fitting path curves using a mathematical algorithm from projective geometry. During growth and maturation processes the shape of mi...
