Photogrammetric 3D Skull/Photo Superimposition: a pilot study

The identification of bodies through the examination of skeletal remains holds a prominent place in the field of forensic investigations because the main objective of such inquiries is to establish the identity of the person to whom the remains belong. The use of DNA analysis in identifying human remains has become much more widespread in recent years. However, it is not always possible to utilize DNA due to the fact that under certain circumstances it may be subject to so much degeneration that it makes it impossible to extract it.
