title: [Computer-assisted identification and comparative studies of the human skull].
abstract: The comparison of reconstructed skull profiles with photographic or other patterns for identification up to the reply to questions for sex, age, and race by the help of image analysis represents a relatively new development in forensic medicine. Using a Robotron image analyzing system 20 human skulls of different races were analysed morphometrically. Standardized profile functions, which were put through a morphometric analysis, showed characteristic individual features. By the help of the computerbased identification method mathematic differences between skulls of varions races became veritable.
