SOCOVIFI: Soft Computing and Computer Vision Techniques in Forensic Identification TIN2006-00829
Óscar Cordón, Miguel Cecilio Botella López · 2009
Photographic supra-projection is a forensic anthropology technique for the identification of human beings from their skeletal remains, where photographs of the “missing person” are compared with the found skull. Its main drawback is the lack of a systematic analysis method, so every researcher applies his own methodology. This is both due to the large complexity of the projection procedure and to the inherent uncertainty present in the decision process. The aim of the current project is to design an automatic, computerbased procedure to support the anthropologist in this forensic identification task by means of soft computing and computer vision techniques.
