Clement J.G., Marks M.K. Computer-Graphic Facial Reconstruction

Elsevier, 2005. — 409 p. — ISBN10: 0124730515. — ISBN13: 978-0124730519.This book grew out of the FBI’s 2000 International Association for Craniofacial Identification meeting, held in Washington, DC. The editors agreed to cooperate on a project that would gather the research results presented there. Four years later, as this book goes to press, research in the field of computer-graphic facial reconstruction and related areas has progressed considerably, as the variety of contributions included here testifies.
The volume is organized in four sections that discuss the current state of forensic reconstructive facial anatomy, conceptual modeling of computer-based reconstruction and their practical applications, psychological perception of facial recognition, and practical applications of facial morphometric comparisons for proof of identity.History and Background.
