Abstract

The technological support for craniofacial superimposition (CFS) techniques used in the initial identifications found in the literature involved a large number of very diverse approaches. This could also be the reason for the current diversity of CFS methods and their terminology, as mentioned before. Rather than following a uniform methodology, every expert tends to apply his/her own approach to the problem, based on the available technology and his/her own knowledge of human craniofacial anatomy, soft tissues, and their relationships. Therefore, CFS approaches have evolved as new technology has become available, although their foundations were previously laid. Some of these approaches were classified in a review by Aulsebrook et al. (1995) according to the technology used to acquire the data and to support the skull-face overlay (SFO) and identification processes, that is, static photographic transparency, video technology, and computer graphics.
