Topological Data Analysis as a Morphometric Method: Using Persistent Homology to Demarcate a Leaf Morphospace
Current morphometric methods that comprehensively measure shape cannot compare the disparate leaf shapes found in seed plants and are sensitive to processing artifacts.We explore the use of persistent homology, a topological method applied as a filtration across simplicial complexes burl audio b2 bomber (or more simply, a method to measure topologi
