Forensic facial reconstruction

Abstract

F facial reconstruction is a technique to reconstruct human face from unidentified skull remains. This is considered as the last resort in forensic identification when traditional methods such as examination of dental records, radiographs, and DNA analysis are ineffective or not feasible. Forensic facial reconstruction is considered to be a combination of scientific method and artistic skill. The conventional method of forensic reconstruction has received various criticism as it is considered highly subjective and reliant on individual skill. Hence, attempts are made to automate the process of reconstruction.
