About this book

This book presents an approach to postmortem human identification using dental image processing based on dental features and characteristics, and provides information on various identification systems based on dental features using image processing operations. The book also provides information on a novel human identification approach that uses Infinite Symmetric Exponential Filter (ISEF) based edge detection and contouring algorithms.

  • Provides complete details on dental imaging;
  • Discusses the important features of a human identification approach and presents a brief review on DICOM standard for dental imaging;
  • Presents human identification approach based on dental features.
