Computer-Graphic Facial Reconstruction

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.

描述：
這本獨特的書籍探討了一種成本效益高、快速且準確的面部重建方法，使用電腦圖形和計算方法來處理分割、分解或骨骼遺骸。《電腦圖形面部重建》旨在成為那些設計新研究項目和協議的科學家的寶貴資源，同時也是法醫實踐者的實用手冊，他們實際上確定了無面孔的犯罪受害者。它探討了多種方法：使用神經網絡的人工智能、基於案例的推理、貝葉斯信念系統，以及多種成像方法：放射學、CT、MRI和成像設備的使用。本書中描述的方法可以補充或甚至取代不太可靠的、更傳統的通過推測手段確定身份的方法，例如識別衣物、個人物品和黏土重建。
