A Superimposition-Based Cephalometric Method to Quantitate Craniofacial Changes

Cephalometric Superimposition

His famous dissertation, published in 1947, The Face in Profile. An Anthropological X-ray Investigation on Swedish Children and Conscripts, is an outstanding contribution. That monograph became the classic example for numerous scholars to follow so that, 25 years later, a second printing was necessary. research fellow and guest lecturer at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. In 1958 h...

A New Approach to Fuzzy Location of Cephalometric Landmarks in Craniofacial Superimposition

Craniofacial superimposition is the second stage of a complex forensic technique that aims to identify a missing person from a photograph (or video shot) and the skull found. This specific task is devoted to find the most appropriate pose of the skull model to be projected onto the photograph. The process is guided by a number of landmarks identified both in the skull (craniometric landmarks) a...

A preliminary assessment of cephalometric orthodontic superimposition.

The superimposition of cephalograms is a valuable tool in orthodontics. In children this task is complicated by the fact that growth changes in the reference structures used in superimposition should be taken into consideration. In this study a new method of superimposition of cephalograms taken in the natural head position (NHP) was compared with Viazis' cranial base triangle and a reference g...

Weighted Curve Matching for Cephalometric Superimposition

Computer-based craniofacial superimposition in forensic identification using soft computing

One of the most important tasks in forensic anthropology is human identification. Over the past decades, forensic anthropologists have focused on improving techniques to increase the accuracy of identification. Following a thorough examination of unidentified human remains, the investigator chooses a specific identification technique to be applied, depending on the availability of ante mortem a...
