Improving Forensic Facial Reproduction Using Empirical Modeling & Forensic Resource Reference on Genetics

With this program in the Advancement in Forensic Anthropology seminar technological precision I learned of an approach for forensic facial reproduction that uses empirical modeling  during this session. The process of using a portion of the known landmarks traditionally accessed or facial reconstruction prediction, while also incorporating the effect of body mass index (BMI)  in the empirical model, will be described. Unlike current forensic facial reconstruction  techniques that use average facial tissue depths from a population sample of individuals, the  technique applied during the workshop session will use a non-parametric empirical model to  predict facial tissue depths that are unique to each cranium. This  technique also has potential to predict facial features like the eyes, nose, and ears. The purpose  will be to learn to use this technique to generate more accurate facial reconstructions, thus  improving forensic facial reconstruction by enhancing the accuracy of soft tissue thickness prediction.

The image I have inserted is an easy approach of how to understand the biological genetically modified aspect of how to better understand the skeletal remain-DNA compilation as well as how to easily use the DNA genome database.
