Title: Face Lab
Face Lab, lead by Professor Caroline Wilkinson, is a research group that carries out forensic/archaeological research and consultancy work, including craniofacial analysis, facial depiction and forensic art. Face Lab specialises in facial identity, population demographics, portraiture and depiction.
From skeletal remains, death masks and portraits, we analyse, authenticate and/or depict the faces of key historical figures. This work has directly influenced current research into digital human representation, especially in relation to the creation of 3D facial avatars and facial recognition.
Face Lab’s research includes:
the further development of a 3D computerised craniofacial depiction system, utilising existing 3D modelling software and haptic technology
the development of a database of anatomical structures and facial features
the use of cutting edge technology in facial depiction, animation and recognition
