      Scope
      "Mystery of dead woman in Winkeler Bay solved"- After ten
      years, a female body found mutilated beyond re-cog-nition has
      been identified thanks to a technique known as facial
      reconstruction. Thanks to the information ob-tained as a
      result of the reconstruction, searches for the potential
      murderer have now been initiated. – Reports of this
      type were rare in the past. Today, however, a revolutionary
      progress in computer-aided methods has also made its way into
      the reconstruction of the soft tissues of the human face.
       
      Aim
      Based on the findings of traditional facial reconstruction,
      more and more complex software programs are being designed
      and applied. In combination with state-of-the-art medical
      imaging and laser scanning technology, detailed 3D-images can
      be created with different facial expressions. RSFP 2005 is a
      scientific conference on new face reconstruction proce-dures
      in all forensic, anthropologic and medical application areas.
      The conference will bring together scientific, medical,
      anthropologic and forensic experts from university and
      clinical departments as well as criminal divisions and
      commercial sites.
       
      Topics and Application Areas
      Conference topics and application areas include (but are not
      limited to): 2D- and 3D-reconstruction procedures, clay
      techniques, superimposition methods, computer-aided planning,
      computer-aided facial recon-struc-tion, 3D imaging modalities
      and automated skull analysis, morphological principles,
      virtual sculpturing and visualization, texture mapping,
      facial features and measures, identification principles,
      haptic feed-back systems, virtual-reality techniques, 3D
      interaction tools, FEM principles, tissue-depth measure-ment
      and markers, statistical shape models, cranial reconstructive
      surgery, surgical prediction systems, forensic
      identification, evaluation principles and studies,
      archaeological, forensic and medical case studies as well as
      technical innovations and implementations.
