• Computerised 3D Forensic Facial Reconstruction:

These are effective and the first computer-based method. They involve

the use of 3D animation software that has sensible technology to model

the face on the skull. Unlike the manual techniques, when the same input

was given, it would always result in producing the same output. Further-
more, it was possible to generate many faces with little variations from

the same skull. Capturing of images is done by MRI (Magnetic Reso-

nance Imaging) and CT (Computed Tomography) scanners, but recent

pictures are taken by ultrasound that have the facility of giving an upright

position.

The major disadvantage is that it causes health hazards caused by the

radiation.
