Using 3D (Baldasso et al, 2021;Carew & Errickson, 2020;Carew et al, 2019;Leipner et al, 2019). The benefits of 3D scanning are evident in facial reconstruction from the skull.…”

Under current conditions, there is practical demand for the introduction of 3D technology into law enforcement activities, which can be used to solve a wide range of criminal proceedings. Based on positive examples of foreign experience in application of this technology in combating crime, there were practical opportunities of 3D technology in activities of the investigator, expert, in criminal proceedings including those with the participation of jurors. It was revealed that the application of 3D technology in the criminal proceedings in Russia is currently at the stage of formation. The reason is in a complex of problems of logistical, ethical-legal nature, as well as the lack of a proper methodological support. The creation of new and improvement of existing computer programs for creating a 3D model of objects related to the committed crime, depending on the specific tasks of criminal proceedings was proposed. The need for the settlement of legal issues of the possibility of using information and communication technologies in pre-trial and trial investigations was indicated. The organization of training of investigators, experts, prosecutors on the methodology of using 3D technologies was proposed in specific areas of their activities at the advanced training courses, etc.

“…Facial approximation (FA), also known as facial reconstruction, is a commonly used technique to recreate the probable facial appearance of a deceased person from skeletal remains. In the absence of other evidence, it has served as a method of last resort to recover possible facial likenesses for use in triggering memories to aid forensic identification of a seriously decomposed cadaver (Baldasso et al, 2021 ; Nelson & Michael, 1998 ). Additionally, it seeks to recreate sculptural portraits of undocumented Homo sapiens , for example, famous historical figures and our recent ancestors, in the realms of archaeology and anthropology (Benazzi et al, 2009 ; Marić et al, 2020 ).…”

Facial approximation (FA) provides a promising means of generating the possible facial appearance of a deceased person. It facilitates exploration of the evolutionary forces driving anatomical changes in ancestral humans and can capture public attention. Despite the recent progress made toward improving the performance of FA methods, a limited understanding of detailed quantitative craniofacial relationships between facial bone and soft tissue morphology may hinder their accuracy, and hence subjective experience and artistic interpretation are required. In this study, we explored craniofacial relationships among human populations based upon average facial soft tissue thickness depths (FSTDs) and covariations between hard and soft tissues of the nose and mouth using geometric morphometrics. Furthermore, we proposed a computerized method to assign the learned craniofacial relationships to generate a probable facial appearance of Homo sapiens, reducing human intervention. A smaller resemblance comparison (an average Procrustes distance was 0.0258 and an average Euclidean distance was 1.79 mm) between approximated and actual faces and a greater recognition rate (91.67%) tested by a face pool indicated that average dense FSTDs contributed to raising the accuracy of approximated faces. Results of partial least squares (PLS) analysis showed that nasal and oral hard tissues have an effect on their soft tissues separately. However, relatively weaker RV correlations (<0.4) and greater approximation errors suggested that we need to be cautious about the accuracy of the approximated nose and mouth soft tissue shapes from bony structures. Overall, the proposed method can facilitate investigations of craniofacial relationships and potentially improve the reliability of the approximated faces for use in numerous applications in forensic science, archaeology, and anthropology.

3D forensic facial approximation: Implementation protocol in a forensic activity

Abstract: Forensic facial approximation (popularly known as forensic facial reconstruction) is a technique that consists in reconstructing the face of an individual directly on his skull or on a replica of it [1-3].
