Document Summary
Critically discuss both the anatomical and computerized facial reconstruction methods. Facial reconstruction is the process of recreating the face of an individual, often from there skeletal remains (usually skull) in an effort to identify a person (journal of anthropology, Fu(cid:396)the(cid:396)(cid:373)o(cid:396)e (cid:449)he(cid:374) all othe(cid:396) ide(cid:374)tifi(cid:272)atio(cid:374) te(cid:272)h(cid:374)i(cid:395)ues fail o(cid:396) do(cid:374)"t (cid:449)o(cid:396)k fa(cid:272)ial reconstruction becomes alternative resort for investigators and family members to help with identification. (jain, 2013). In the process of reconstruction experts have the choice of several different methods such as 2-d representation, 3-d sculptural reconstruction, 3-d reconstruction using computer generated images (bell, 2017). Two dimensional representation is one of the first methods to be created and used. It involves hand drawing facial images which can be based on ante-mortem photographs and the skull of the individual (jain,2013). The 2-d method has three common approaches artistic, photofit and photographic superimposition (bell,2017).
