The
PI Magazine Bookstore is
proud to offer investigators Computer Graphic Facial
Reconstruction written by John G. Clemente, Murray K.
Marks. This book covers cutting-edge technologies in the context
of historical forensic reconstruction methods. It also features
stellar authors from around the globe and bridges the areas
of computer graphics, animation, and forensic anthropology.
Description
This unique books looks at a cost-efficient, fast and accurate
means of facial reconstruction--from segmented, decomposed,
or skeletal remains--using computer-graphic and computational
means.
Computer-Graphic Facial Reconstruction is designed as a valuable
resource for those scientists designing new research projects
and protocols, as well as a practical handbook of methods and
techniques for medico-legal practitioners who actually identify
the faceless victims of crime. It looks at a variety of approaches:
artificial intelligence using neural networks, case-based reasoning,
Baysian belief systems, along with a variety of imaging methods:
radiological, CT, MRI and the use of imaging devices.
The methods described in this book complement, or may even
replace, the less-reliable, more traditional means of securing
identification by presumptive means, i.e., recognition of clothing,
personal effects and clay reconstruction.
