Handbook on Craniofacial Superimposition
by Sergio Damas, Oscar Cordón, Oscar Ibáñez · Science
About this book
This free book is the first comprehensive guide to a new soft computing technique which is used in complex forensic cases. The chapters include detailed technical and practical overviews, and discussions about the latest tools, open problems and ethical and legal issues involved. The book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in forensic medicine and computational intelligence.The book is closely associated with a successful research initiative, MEPROCS (New Methodologies and Protocols of Forensic Identification by Craniofacial Superimposition). The project collaborators were: S. Damas, O. Ibáñez, M.I. Huete, T. Kahana, C. Wilkinson, E. Ferguson, C. Erolin, P.T. Jayaprakash, R. Jankauskas, F. Cavalli, K. Imaizumi, R. Vicente, D. Navega, E. Cunha, A.H. Ross, E. Veselovskaya, A. Abramov, P. Lestón, F. Molinero, E. Ruiz, F. Navarro, J. Cardoso, F. Viegas, D. Humpire, R. Hardiman, J. Clement, A. Valsecchi, B.R. Campomanes-Alvarez, C. Campomanes-Alvarez, A.S. Çağdır, T. Briers, M. Steyn, M. Viniero, D.N. Vieira, and O. Cordón. This open book is licensed under a Creative Commons License (CC BY-NC).

Key Insights
- The integration of Soft Computing and Artificial Intelligence provides a robust framework for automating and standardizing the traditionally subjective process of skeletal identification.
- Standardized operational protocols, established via the MEPROCS project, bridge the gap between theoretical computational models and practical forensic application in legal settings.
- Successful craniofacial superimposition requires a multi-disciplinary synthesis of forensic pathology, 3D digital imaging, and rigorous ethical considerations to ensure judicial reliability.
