Statistical 3D Cranio-Facial Models

In forensic science, 3D cranio facail reconstruction is used to reconstruct the face from a skull. This can be done by manual approaches or computer assisted methods. The proposed statistical model represents the relationship between the skull and the soft tissues and is inverted to reconstruct the unknown face from the known skull. It is a specific application of the missing or occulted data problem. Results are visually correct.
