dat_feat_curr

A dataset containing the wing bone specific data for a
pigeon BirdID = 20_0300, TestID = 20_03004, FrameID = 317

datasets


Tools to compute the center of gravity and moment of inertia tensor of any
flying bird. The tools function by modeling a bird as a composite structure
of simple geometric objects. This requires detailed morphological
measurements of bird specimens although those obtained for the associated
paper have been included in the package for use. Refer to the vignettes and
supplementary material for detailed information on the package function.
