Procrustes

Alright kiddo, so imagine that you have a bunch of shapes, like triangles and squares, but they are all different sizes and rotated in different ways. Now, imagine that you want to compare them and see how similar they are.

That's where Procrustes comes in! Procrustes is like a magic tool that can take all those different shapes and make them the same size and rotation so that you can compare them easily. It's kind of like fitting puzzle pieces together.

But how does Procrustes do this? Well, it has a few steps. First, it finds the center of each shape and moves them all to the same spot. Then, it stretches or shrinks each shape so that they are all the same size. Finally, it rotates each shape so that they are all facing the same direction.

With Procrustes, you can compare shapes even if they started out very different from each other. It's like making a game out of finding similarities between things, and Procrustes helps you play the game more easily!
