Facial fatness as a complicating factor in facial reconstruction
… a significant proportion of the variation in facial tissue thicknesses comes from anatomical differences between populations, we do not know how much of normal variation is caused by including the full range of individual obesity or slimness. Current population standard soft tissue thickness …

Forensic facial reconstruction using 3-D computer graphics: evaluation and improvement of its reliability in identification
… is concerned with computerised forensic 3-D facial reconstruction as a means of identification and involves the restoration of the face on the skull in an attempt to achieve a close likeness of the individual when alive. The reconstruction process begins with the biological identification of …

3D reconstruction of human body via machine learning
Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and modeling of the human body and garments from images is a central open problem in computer vision, yet remains a challenge using machine learning techniques. We proposed a framework to generate the realistic 3D human from a single RGB image via machine …

3D facial performance capture from monocular RGB video.
3D facial performance capture is an essential technique for animation production in featured films, video gaming, human computer interaction, VR/AR asset creation and digital heritage, which all have huge impact on our daily life. Traditionally, dedicated hardware such as depth sensors, laser …

An evaluation of computer assisted skull re-assembly using hand held and automated laser scanners
… manual methods of physical restoration and reconstruction. The technique is reliant on high quality images produced by radiological CT or optical surface laser scans. The accuracy of CAD reassembly and the contribution the technologies of image production make to the process are largely …

Skin and bone: the face in the archaeological imagination
… were produced through the Manchester method of facial reconstruction. Their gaze prompts a space for a broad discourse regarding the face found within human and artefactual remains of Ireland. These faces are reminders of the human element which is at the core of the discipline of archaeology. …

An automated computer-assisted approximation of the nose in South Africans from CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scans
… Therefore, more creative methods, including facial reconstruction, have been implemented to assist in the identification of unknown persons from their skeletal remains in South Africa. The aim of this thesis was to provide an automated computer-assisted method, independent of any forensic …

The Curricular and Instructional Implication for the Tacit Knowledge Exhibited While Creating a Forensic Craniofacial Reconstruction
… exploratory study I use forensic craniofacial reconstruction as the lens through which I investigated the exhibits of tacit knowledge for its implication for curriculum and instruction. The study recruited volunteer members of ProjectEDAN as the study’s participants. The research …

Reconstructing Soft Tissues of Plio-Pleistocene Hominids using Comparative Anatomy of Modern Humans & Great Apes
The aim of facial approximation is to recreate the appearance of an individual from their dry skull. This technique has often been used following the discovery of a new species of ancient hominid, such as those belonging to the Australopithecus or Paranthropus genera. Facial approximations provide …
