Overview of Services
Skull Analysis
Skull analysis involves osteological assessment to document biological profile, population affinity, pathology, and craniofacial traits influencing facial morphology. Systematic recording of skeletal indicators supports forensic identification and archaeological interpretation, providing scientifically grounded data for reconstructing external facial features using established anthropological standards.
Facial Imaging & Approximation
Facial approximation involves the scientific interpretation of skeletal and/or soft tissue facial information to produce evidence-based facial predictions. Methods may include craniofacial superimposition, anatomical reconstruction, and artificial age progression or regression informed by principles of growth and development. The resulting outputs support forensic investigations and archaeological visualisation while adhering to validated scientific methodologies and ethical standards.
Forensic Image Analysis & Comparison
Provides specialist visual comparison services for criminal investigations, identity disputes, and media casework. Structured methodologies assess imaging conditions and facial morphology following international guidelines (e.g., FISWG, ENFSI). Findings are delivered through robust, transparent reports supporting investigative and legal decision-making.
Scientific Imaging
Scientific imaging involves capturing, processing, and analysing visual data using DSLR photography, photogrammetry, infrared imaging, DICOM analysis, and video enhancement. Outputs include evidential imagery, scientific illustrations, and expert witness documentation, ensuring accurate, reproducible visual communication for forensic, archaeological, and legal contexts.
Research, Innovation,
& Education
Integrates academic research, methodological development, and professional training to advance forensic imaging and craniofacial identification. Activities include validation studies, SOP development, academic publication, and intensive skills-based teaching. Training emphasises ACE-V methodology, scientific rigour, and ethical practice, preparing professionals for forensic and archaeological casework, research, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
