Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science
  • Anthropology
  • Computer Graphics

Context:

  • Traditional identification methods (DNA, fingerprints, dental records) may be unavailable or inconclusive.
  • Cases involving decomposed, burned, or fragmented remains pose significant identification challenges.

Purpose:

  • To explore facial reconstruction as a supplementary identification technique.
  • To investigate the potential of 2D and 3D facial reconstruction in forensic identification.

Summary:

  • Facial reconstruction, utilizing two- or three-dimensional methods, serves as a method of last resort for personal identification.
  • This approach aims to facilitate indirect identification by enabling primary facial recognition when conventional forensic techniques have been unsuccessful.
