Welcome!

CRANIOFACIALidentification.com is a resource hub that offers pertinent information on superimposition and facial approximation techniques.

This website provides the following...

Data Access Points:

  1. Tallied-Facial-Soft-Tissue-Depth-Data (T-Table)
  2. Facial-Soft-Tissue-Depth-Data-Store (C-Table)

Computer Scripts (coming soon!):

  1. TDStats - R code that runs a GUI to automate exploratory data analysis of facial soft tissue depths and the calculation of enhanced facial soft tissue depth descriptors.
  2. QuickCapture - R code that runs a GUI to provide the choice of three semi-automated and fast landmark aquisition methods from a 2D closed contour using the Conte function described by J. Claude in Morphometrics with R (Springer: New York, 2008). These data are also readily importable to Klingenberg's MorphoJ.
