Computer-assisted 3D morphometrics for human identification

该项目预计安全部门将迅速采用比较三维面部形态测量法来识别“有关人员”，并随之建立此类特征的大型数据库。解剖学知识将用于改进新的日本软件，该软件半自动匹配嫌疑人和数据库之间的3D面部标志和形态，并验证其在澳大利亚的使用。我们建立在澳大利亚和日本申请人目前的合作研究基础上，由两国政府提供资金。我们的研究验证了用于嫌疑人识别的比较面部形态测量学，并支持日本各地警察使用面部扫描。

This project anticipates the rapid adoption by security services of comparative 3-D facial morphometrics for the identification of "persons of interest" and the concomitant creation of large databases of such characteristics. Anatomical knowledge will be used to refine new Japanese software which semi-automatically matches 3D facial landmarks and morphology between suspect and database and to validate its use in Australia. We build on current collaborative research by the applicants in Australia and Japan with funding provided by both governments. Our research has validated comparative facial morphometrics for suspect identification and underpinned the use of facial scanning by police throughout Japan.
