چکیده
Photographic supra-projection is a forensic anthropology technique for the identification of human beings from their skeletal remains, where photographs of the “missing person” are compared with the found skull. Its main drawback is the lack of a systematic analysis method, so every researcher applies his own methodology. This is both due to the large complexity of the projection procedure and to the inherent uncertainty present in the decision process. The aim of the current project is to design an automatic, computerbased procedure to support the anthropologist in this forensic identification task by means of soft computing and computer vision techniques.

Performance evaluation of memetic approaches in 3D reconstruction of forensic objects
Different tasks in forensics require the use of 3D models of forensic objects (skulls, bones, corpses, etc.) captured by 3D range scanners. Since a whole object cannot be completely scanned in a single image using a range scanner, multiple acquisitions from different views are needed to supply the information to construct the 3D model by a range image registration method. There is an increasing...
