چکیده

Different tasks in forensic anthropology require the use of three-dimensional models of forensic objects (skulls, bones, corpses, etc) captured by 3D range scanners. Since a whole object cannot be completely scanned with a single image, multiple scans from different views are needed to supply the information to construct the 3D model. Range image registration methods study the accurate integration of the different views acquired by range scanners, with pair-wise approaches progressively processing every adjacent pair of scanned views until reconstructing the whole 3D model of the object. Our proposal is based on the adaptation of our previous work (Cordon et al, IEEE Conference on Evolutionary Computation, pp 2738– 2744, 2005 in Pattern Recognit Lett 27(11); 1191–1200, This work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología of Spain under project TIC2003-00877 (including FEDER fundings).

Botella Physical Anthropology Lab, University of Granada, 18071 Granada, Spain 2006) in order to apply the scatter search evolutionary algorithm to pair-wise image registration in forensic anthropology applications. Tomeasure the performance of this adaptation, we design an experimental setup considering some of the most recent and accurate evolutionary techniques for the problem, as well as one skull from our Physical Anthropology Lab. Two additional volumes, commonly used in other pair-wise range IR contributions, have also been considered to complement the comparison of results among the proposals.

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...

A Novel Subsampling Method for 3D Multimodality Medical Image Registration Based on Mutual Information

Mutual information (MI) is a widely used similarity metric for multimodality image registration. However, it involves an extremely high computational time especially when it is applied to volume images. Moreover, its robustness is affected by existence of local maxima. The multi-resolution pyramid approaches have been proposed to speed up the registration process and increase the accuracy of th...

An advanced scatter search design for skull-face overlay in craniofacial superimposition

Craniofacial superimposition is a forensic identification technique where photographs or video shots of a missing person are compared with a skull found in order to determine whether that is the same person. The second stage of this complex forensic process, named skull-face overlay, aims to achieve the best overlay of the skull 3D model and the 2D image of the face. In this paper, we aim to pr...

A Robust Method for Registering Ground-based Laser Range Images of Urban Outdoor Objects

There is a potentially strong demand for detailed 3D spatial data of urban area. Ground-based laser range scanner is one of the promising devices to acquire range images of urban 3D objects. In this paper, the authors propose an automated registration method of multiple overlapping range images for the reconstruction of 3D urban objects. Registration is achieved in two steps, pair-wise registra...
