Craniofacial photographic superimposition: New developments

Distortion in Craniofacial Superimposition : Logarithmic Decay Curves

Multimodal Genetic Algorithms for Craniofacial Superimposition

Photographic supra-projection (Iscan, 1993) is a forensic process that consists of comparing photographs or video shots of a missing person with the skull that is found. By projecting both photographs on top of each other (or, even better, matching a scanned three-dimensional skull model against the face photo/video shot), the forensic anthropologist can try to establish whether that is the sam...

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...

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...

Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia: New image findings

Introdouction: Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous lesion that affects craniofacial bones including the maxilla and mandible. In the most cases of fibrous dysplasia of facial bones, radiographic findings represent lucent or mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion with ill-defined borders and gradual blending of its border with adjacent bone . In this presentation, a patient suffering ...
