However, for deceased individuals, such biometric measurements are not available. In such cases, parts of the human skeleton can be used for identification, such as dental records, thorax, vertebrae, shoulder, and frontal sinus. It has been established in prior investigations that the radiographic pattern of frontal sinus is highly variable and unique for every individual. This has stimulated the proposition of measurements of the frontal sinus pattern, obtained from x-ray films, for skeletal identification. This paper presents a frontal sinus recognition method for human identification based on Image Foresting Transform and shape context. Experimental results (ERR = 5,82%) have shown the effectiveness of the proposed method.S9440-S9440engBiometricsFrontal sinus recognitionHuman identificationBiometric measurementsDental recordsFrontal sinusHuman skeletonImage foresting transformsPerson identificationRecognition methodsShape contextsX ray radiographyFace recognitionTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1117/12.777706WOS:000257371900024Acesso aberto2-s2.0-79959326943537415932205824860277137509426890000-0003-0030-8198
