The use of technology in police investigation
More than bringing to light the face of ancient men or distant relatives, the forensic art has elucidated a number of police cases, ranging from the approximation of a face based on a cranium (complete or not) all the way to aging of picture with a view to up-dating pictures to provide the police with the current appearance of fugitives from the law or even of dear ones who disappeared many years before. At Latinoware 2012, speaker Cícero Moraes will approach forensic 3D reconstruction using open source and free software, like Blender, InVesalius, Gimp and others. Below, see a sample of his work.
