Abstract

 Human face is most valuable tool for detecting and recognizing. It is also important in understanding of digital photographs. Facial reconstruction is one of the techniques available to recognize a face which is mutilated and helpful in the identification of forensic remains. In this paper, we present a facial reconstruction approach that ûts an anatomy-based virtual head model, incorporating skin and muscles, to a scanned skull using statistical data on skull/tissue relationships. 

Keywords: 3D reconstruction; Facial asymmetry; Classical methods.
