| Summary: | Sir,
In a recent attempt to evaluate the reliability of the superimposition
method using 3D laser scans of skulls and scanned face
images, Gaudio et al. (1) reported 40 and 44.4% false positives
for landmark and morphological methods, respectively, and concluded
that their “study presents the validity of a different
method of manipulation of the 3D model of the skull so that it
can be more efficiently aligned with a 2D image.” The methods
used by these authors include the placement of targets to indicate
the landmarks in the skull and face images on screen and adjusting
the transparency, size, and orientation of the images “to
match orientation landmarks (i.e., right and left ectocanthion,
subnasal point and nasion)” (1). |
