Forensic Facial Reconstruction

For the acquisition of three-dimensional (30) surface data of the human face, a computerized facial reconstruction system was developed. A laser video camera is used to capture the skull. The skull data is then rendered as a fully shaded 30 surface. Computer software can be used to draw the face (for eg., Vitrea 2.3 version volumetric visualization software). It has been discovered that 30 computed tomography (CT) imaging is more accurate than imaging performed directly on CI slices and two-dimensional (20) CT image reconstruction.
