Chinese scientists have worked out a processing system able to verify a human skull on a 3-D basis. The system can reconstruct and identify a 3-D skull image, offering a desirable key solution to verifying the identification of victims, especially in criminal cases.

The new system, using forensic anthropology, facial anatomy, and 3-D digital imaging techniques, is able to reconstruct a nameless skull into a missing victim?痵 picture, and then verify the victim?痵 identification, providing clues and evidences for criminal investigations and judicial examination. The new system also makes a very important technical means for personnel identification. 

The 3-D skull verification technique and 3-D skull reconstruction technique constitute a solution to identifying and verifying a nameless skull without picture data. The new system, a breakthrough in Chinese man skull reconstruction, has demonstrated through 83 application cases its scientific, advanced and practical nature in reconstructing a 3-D skull.
