Abstract

Forensic investigations frequently utilize facial reconstructions/approximations to stimulate recognition and
identification. The process of completing a three-dimensional clay reconstruction can take several days to
complete. With the advent of user-friendly computer software and methods, the time taken to produce a facial
reconstruction process could potentially be reduced to mere hours. These developments saves both time and
money, as well as increasing the reliability of the technique. Forensic facial reconstruction could be a very
powerful tool in future mass human identification scenarios. According to our review, 3D computer
reconstruction and video superimposition have a useful role in the process of identification, particularly in the
early stages of an investigation and when other more definitive methods may not be available.
