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 same person. To do so, an accurate 3D model of the skull is first demanded. Next, the matching of two sets of radiometric points (facial anthropometric (cephalometric) landmarks in the subject photograph, and abstract
