Procrustes rotation is used in community ecology to compare ordinations (where ordination is the ordering of community data to summarize variation, hence simplifying raw data). Procrustes rotation rescales, centres and rotates one ordination vs the other until they closely match. A match is determined by m^2, the symmetric Procrustes residual.
