形状分析是许多生物学研究的基本组成部分。随着统计领域的发展，对这类数据的分析也越来越复杂。这导致了多变量形态计量学，其中使用典型变量分析，主成分分析和相关方法一起分析测量套件。在20世纪80年代，收集和分析的数据的性质发生了根本性的变化。这一变化集中在地标的坐标及其相对位置的几何信息上。作为这种方法的副产品，多变量分析的结果可以被可视化为在组织蛋白的原始空间中的地标的配置，而不仅仅是统计散点图。这种新的方法，称为“几何形态测量学”，其优点导致Rohlf和Marcus（1993）宣布形态测量学的“革命”。在本文中，我们简要地更新了该论文的讨论，并总结了自Rohlf和Marcus的论文发表以来十年的进展。我们还推测未来的发展方向，形态分析。
The analysis of shape is a fundamental part of much biological research. As the field of statistics developed, so have the sophistication of the analysis of these types of data. This lead to multivariate morphometrics in which suites of measurements were analyzed together using canonical variates analysis, principal components analysis, and related methods. In the 1980s, a fundamental change began in the nature of the data gathered and analyzed. This change focused on the coordinates of landmarks and the geometric information about their relative positions. As a by-product of such an approach, results Of multivariate analyses could be visualized as configurations of landmarks back in the original space of the organisin rather than only as statistical scatter plots. This new approach, called "geometric morphometrics", had benefits that lead Rohlf and Marcus (1993) to proclaim a "revolution" in morphometrics. In this paper, we briefly Update the discussion in that paper and summarize the advances in the ten years since the paper by Rohlf and Marcus. We also speculate on future directions in morphometric analysis.
