Chandigarh, July 27 -- Researchers at Panjab University have developed AI-based facial reconstruction models that can accurately recreate a person's face with up to 95% accuracy using only the dimensions of the teeth and jaws, a major breakthrough for identifying victims in airplane crashes, bomb blasts and other disasters where the face is destroyed but jaws remain intact. The innovation is expected to significantly strengthen forensic investigation and disaster victim identification (DVI) processes. The university has received a copyright for the novel computer program from the Copyright Office, Government of India. The AI/ML models were devised by a team of forensic scientists under the leadership of professor Kewal Krishan, department of anthropology, and included professor Vishal Sharma, Institute of Forensic Science and Criminology and Dr Arun K Garg from Dr HS Judge Institute of Dental Sciences and Hospital. As many as six PhD research scholars, Damini Siwan, Nandini Chitara, Ankita Guleria, Rakesh Meena, Akansha Rana, and Ayushi Srivastava contributed to the project.HTC...
