Abstract: This invention relates to a method and an automatic system for assisting a forensic anthropologist in the task of identification by means of craniofacial superimposition. First, the system automatically builds a three-dimensional model from a device providing partial views of the skull. Said model is then superimposed onto a photograph of the disappeared person, modelling the inherent uncertainty to the pairing of two separate objects: a skull and a face. Finally, the system emits a recommendation from the result of the identification process to the forensic anthropologist.
