Unidentified Skeletal Remains pose a big identification challenge for Medical Examiners/Investigatots.
MISSING PERSON LINK has developed a system whereby a front on picture of a skull (or 3-D printer re-creation) can be digitally mapped (indexed) in such a way that it can be matched to a similarly mapped (indexed) front on (mugshot) facial picture of the Missing Person whilst alive.(click 'Examples' above)
This demonstration contains 4 skulls, which have been indexed, and a number of photographs of missing persons from USA, Mexico and Canada which have also been indexed, as well as 4 photographs of the owners of the 4 skulls.
Below the skulls is the 'IDENTIFICATION TABLE' which provides a graphical representation of the indexing system for both the selected skull and the selected photograph.
By clicking on a skull or a face, the identification table reflects the graphical representation of the skull and the face.
Thumbnails of the skull and the face appear below the identification table, with ID coordinates.
A 'match' occurs when every red dot appears completely inside of every black ring.
With our system, you can create a database of any number of indexes from faces in MISSING PERSONS
Once a database has bee created, the subject skull picture can be indexed and the database searched with that index, returning candidate faces in seconds.
Our research clearly indicates the obvious - every face has a unique and identifiable index.
By default, all MISSING PERSON LINK records can contains either a DENTAL CHART SEQUENCE, CRANIAL/FACIAL INDEX, or BOTH. This allows a HYBRID SEARCH
