头骨照片叠加是一种用于识别目标人物的头骨和照片之间关系的技术：面部重建可以从未知的人类头骨中再现生前的面部特征，或者识别未知的人类骨骼遗骸的面部特征。这些技术基于软组织厚度和软组织与颅骨之间的关系，即，耳朵和外耳道、瞳孔和眼眶、鼻子和鼻孔、嘴唇和牙齿的位置。然而，由于耳鼻部位的结构，由于这些部位的软组织衬有软骨，因此相对难以识别。我们试图建立一种更准确的方法来确定鼻尖从头骨的位置。我们测量了55名日本男性的上颌骨和中下面部区域的高度，并从收集的数据中生成回归方程。当应用于由另外12名日本男性组成的验证集时，我们获得了距离真实鼻尖2.0 +/- 0.99 mm（平均值+/- SD）的结果。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司和法医和法律的医学学院。All rights reserved.
Skull-photo superimposition is a technique used to identify the relationship between the skull and a photograph of a target person: and facial reconstruction reproduces antemortem facial features from an unknown human skull, or identifies the facial features of unknown human skeletal remains. These techniques are based on soft tissue thickness and the relationships between soft tissue and the skull, i.e., the position of the ear and external acoustic meatus, pupil and orbit, nose and nasal aperture, and lips and teeth. However, the ear and nose region are relatively difficult to identify because of their structure, as the soft tissues of these regions are lined with cartilage.We attempted to establish a more accurate method to determine the position of the nasal tip from the skull. We measured the height of the maxilla and mid-lower facial region in 55 Japanese men and generated a regression equation from the collected data. We obtained a result that was 2.0 +/- 0.99 mm (mean +/- SD) distant from the true nasal tip, when applied to a validation set consisting of another 12 Japanese men.
