Superimposition-guided Facial Reconstruction from Skull
We develop a new algorithm to perform facial reconstruction from a given skull. This technique has forensic application in helping the identification of skeletal remains when other information is unavailable. Unlike most existing strategies that directly reconstruct the face from the skull, we utilize a database of portrait photos to create many face candidates, then perform a superimposition to get a well matched face, and then revise it according to the superimposition. To support this pipeline, we build an effective autoencoder for image-based facial reconstruction, and a generative model for constrained face inpainting. Our experiments have demonstrated that the proposed pipeline is stable and accurate.

A Novel Evolutionary Method for Automated Skull-Face Overlay in Computer-Aided Craniofacial Superimposition
Craniofacial Superimposition is a forensic technique for identifying skeletal remains by comparing a post-mortem skull with ante-mortem facial photographs. A critical step in this process is Skull-Face Overlay (SFO). Thi…
Study on the identification limits of craniofacial superimposition
Craniofacial Superimposition involves the superimposition of an image of a skull with a number of ante-mortem face images of an individual and the analysis of their morphological correspondence. Despite being used for on…
Skull-to-Face: Anatomy-Guided 3D Facial Reconstruction and Editing
Deducing the 3D face from a skull is a challenging task in forensic science and archaeology. This paper proposes an end-to-end 3D face reconstruction pipeline and an exploration method that can conveniently create textur…

Probabilistic Joint Face-Skull Modelling for Facial Reconstruction
We present a novel method for co-registration of two independent statistical shape models. We solve the problem of aligning a face model to a skull model with stochastic optimization based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MC…
