Abstract: Abstract In this article, we extend mean 3D projective shape change in matched pairs to independent samples. We provide a brief introduction of projective shapes of spatial configurations obtained from their digital camera images, building on previous results of Crane and Patrangenaru (J Multivar Anal 102:225–237, 2011). The manifold of projective shapes of k-ads in 3D containing a projective frame at five given landmark indices has a natural Lie group structure, which is inherited from the quaternion multiplication. Here, given the small sample size, one estimates the mean 3D projective shape change in two populations, based on independent random samples of possibly different sizes using Efron’s nonparametric bootstrap. This methodology is applied in three relevant applications of analysis of 3D scenes from digital images: visual quality control, face recognition, and scene recognition.
