Description
This unique books looks at a cost-efficient, fast and accurate means of facial reconstruction--from segmented, decomposed, or skeletal
remains--using computer-graphic and computational means.
Computer-Graphic Facial Reconstruction is designed as a valuable resource for
those scientists designing new research projects and protocols, as well as a practical handbook of methods and techniques for medico-legal
practitioners who actually identify the faceless victims of crime. It looks at a variety of approaches: artificial intelligence using
neural networks, case-based reasoning, Baysian belief systems, along with a variety of imaging methods: radiological, CT, MRI and the
use of imaging devices.
The methods described in this book complement, or may even replace, the less-reliable, more traditional means
of securing identification by presumptive means, i.e., recognition of clothing, personal effects and clay reconstruction.
Audience
Researchers in craniofacial identification and facial reconstruction; pathologists; anthropologists; odontologists; vrime scene technicians;
victims? advocates; oral, plastic, and maxillofacial surgeons; auxologists (craniofacial growth scientists); computer scientists; applied
mathematicians; digital and medical imaging professionals; archaeologists and historians; police computer specialist services; students
in many branches of the forensic sciences
