Opis

Experiments were conducted with cadaver material from the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Novi Sad, Serbia. A total of 41 humane skull superimposition photographs were compared with photographs during the life of the dead persons. The skull were photographed under the same angle as the head of the subjects during their lives. The most delicate part of the work was the correct positioning of the skull on the stand, and a proportional magnifying of the skull photograph. After being incorporated in the computer memory, digitalized photographs of the skull and face were put one over the other and showed on the monitor in order to determine their possible congruence or differences. A special attention was paid to the congruence of the same anthropometrical spots of the skull with the face, as well as to following their contours. The results were summarized, compared and evaluated. The social justification of this method for identification, on both the state level and the international level (Interpol) was noted.
