PROJECT TITLE :

Two-Dimensional Wavelet Analysis of Supraorbital Margins of the Human Skull for Characterizing Sexual Dimorphism

ABSTRACT:

The accurate determination of the sex of human skeletal remains could be a crucial challenge in forensic pathology and skeletal anthropology. The pelvis and also the skull are the most commonly used skeletal sites for determining the sex of skeletons. Within the skull, the supraorbital region, that includes the supraorbital margin, is taken into account a selected sexually dimorphic trait. Within the ancient approach, sex is determined through visual and tactile assessment. This paper introduces a methodology for the target quantification of sexually dimorphic features using wavelet remodel, that may be a multiscale mathematical tool that permits for the measurement of form variations that are hidden at completely different scales of resolution. The tactic was successfully applied for the sex determination of a pilot sample of 3D meshes—digital records of supraorbital morphology. This information will be used by consultants to boost the accuracy of biologic profile assessment of a personality's skeleton, and to explain the geographic and temporal variations at intervals and among populations.
