Description
The main objective and output of the project is to create user-friendly software for automatic evaluation of the age of adult skeletal remains. SW will allow age estimation based on sophisticated anthropological and statistical approaches, but its use will be easy even for the general bioarchaeological or forensic public.
The aim of the project is to reduce subjectivity and at the same time to increase the accuracy and reliability of methods for assessing the age of skeletal remains. The approach is based on quantification of changes in the surface area of the pelvic bone. It is an interconnection of several areas of science, from anthropology, archeology and acquisition of 3D data by surface scanners, through their processing by sophisticated statistical approaches, to computer science.
