To David Kendall & Fred Bookstein for their pioneering work on SHAPE PREFACE The annual Leeds Research Workshop by the Department of Statistics began informally (i.e. without numbering!) as far back as 1975. We have had a number of preceding work shops with the underlying theme of Shape Analysis, Image Analysis and Medical Imaging. Over the years, key speakers have included Julian Besag, Fred Bookstein, Colin Goodall, John Gower, Chris Jennison, Wilfrid Kendall, Stephen Pizer and Brian Ripley among others. Recently, the Centre of Medical Imaging Research, Leeds has been co-sponsoring the event and it has strengthened the medical imaging applications. It was agreed at our last Research Workshop to have a session on Mathematical Aspects of Shape Analysis. The idea of the conference on "Current Statistical Issues on Shape Analysis" crystalized with Fred Bookstein when various statistical issues were openly discussed on Morphmet last July-August. I am delighted that various key researchers in this field have agreed to participate in the Conference and to contribute to the Proceedings at a very tight timescale. I am also grateful to the authors who gave their cooperation in carrying out my editorial instructions. It is an added advantage of this Conference that the Proceed ings are being published and will be available before the Conference albeit at the expense of not too thorough proof-reading. This Conference is in a way reminiscent of many of the Wilks' Workshops organized by Colin Goodall and Geof Watson on Shape Analysis in Princeton. I very much hope that it will have the same success in stimulating new ideas as we had with Princeton's Workshops. To get a flavour of the papers in the Proceedings, the reader is recommended to use the overview prepared by Dr I.L. Dryden. I am grateful to the Conference Committee for their untiring help in acting as refer ees at short notice, in particular, to John Kent for helping me take editorial decisions and to lan Dryden for preparing an overview. Christine Gill, the co-editor, has helped me in organizing the Leeds Research Workshop for several years with great enthusiasm and ef ficiency. That it has grown into an international event is in no small way due to her efforts. Finally, I should comment on one of the special features of the Proceedings. There are various articles which not only review important topics but also highlight possible future directions. I very much hope that the Proceedings and the Conference prove successful in stimulating these developments. If these speculations become reality, we can look forward to subsequent conferences as a regular event in Shape Analysis!

Dryden, Department of Statistics, University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK. Introduction and Opening Address Statistical shape analysis is concerned with all aspects of analyzing objects where location, orientation and possibly scale information can be ignored. The subject has flourished since the pioneering work of D.G. Kendall (1984) and EL. Bookstein (1986), both of whom we are privileged to have speaking at the confer ence. Interest in the area is widespread, as can be seen from this collection of papers - from theoretical issues in mathematical statistics, probability and differential geometry to practical issues in computer vision, med ical imaging and biology. The papers have been collected in the order of presentation at the conference, with the poster abstracts at the end. Taken as a whole the papers contain a comprehensive survey of the theory and application of the current state of the art in shape analysis. As well as the presentation of some new results, many important discussion points and directions for further work are included. The opening address of the conference is given by D.G. Kendall, whose seminal paper in 1984 laid the mathematical foundations for the subject. His shape space ££, and its differential geometric properties (in cluding the Procrustes distance) provide the environment for die work hi most of the proceeding papers. Session I: Procrustes and Mathematical Statistics Issues Procrustes analysis has proved to be a popular method of shape analysis. The generalized Procrustes pro cedure was developed by Gower (1975) and has been adapted for shape analysis by Goodall (1991). These two speakers open our first session and offer new thoughts on shape analysis. J.C. Gower considers shape analysis based on Euclidean Distance Matrices and offers geometrical insights into this multidimensional scaling type of approach. C.R. Goodall considers a review of Procrustes methods in shape, including some new developments and updates since his 1991 read paper, particularly with reference to consistency, like lihood and estimation of covariance parameters. Further, he proceeds to describe Euclidean Shape Tensor Analysis - an approach to shape analysis based on subsets of landmarks. A special case of this procedure is Euclidean Distance Matrix Analysis (EDMA). To conclude the session further mathematical statistical issues are considered. H. Le considers a gen eral notion of mean shape - the Karcher mean shape - and obtains such a mean under Bookstein's (1986) independent isotropic Gaussian model.
