Museum displays of faces derived from skeletal remains – typically referred to as facial reconstructions are extraordinarily popular, and frequently function iconic representations a much broader engagement with collections particular people, time place. Their actual ability meaningfully represent either an individual or museum collection is questionable, created for display published within academic journals show enduring preference applying invalidated methods. Since 2002 there has been...
Traditional portraiture aims to produce a life-like representation of an individual’s unique facial features, but there are number perceptual factors that may affect how artist sees and depicts sitter’s shapes. The anatomical accuracy portrait is predominantly ascertained subjectively, not through quantitative methods. To see if it was possible apply the methods analysis more typically used study variation in biological forms, authors produced 30 drawings based on pose photographs, analysed...
Abstract
An artist-led exploration of portrait accuracy and likeness involved 12 Artists producing portraits referencing a life-size 3D print the same Sitter. The works were assessed during public exhibition, resulting assessments compared to as measured using geometric morphometrics (statistical shape analysis). Our results are that, independently assessors' prior familiarity with Sitter’s face, judgements tended be higher for less morphologically accurate portraits. two highest rated that most...
In 2008 we completed facial approximations of four individuals from the early Lapita Culture, a seafaring people who were first to settle islands Western Pacific circa 3000 years ago. Typically an approximation is performed as 3D sculpture or using computer graphics. We chose sketch what have been able determine remains because artistic conventions drawing work with visual perception in ways that are more complementary knowledge, theories and methods make up human remains.
Abstract: Research into witness identification images typically occurs within the laboratory and involves subjective likeness recognizability judgments. This study analyzed whether actual systematically alter facial shapes of suspects described. The shape analysis tool, geometric morphometrics, was applied to 46 homologous landmarks displayed on 50 their corresponding arrest photographs, using principal component multivariate regressions. results indicate that compared with depict lowered...
Although ancient DNA (aDNA) cannot predict the facial appearance of skeletal human remains, knowing which extant populations are most closely related to deceased has proven be invaluable in rectifying two early approximations (popularly known as reconstruction) undertaken 15 years ago. These concerned crania excavated from Lapita burial site at Teouma on island Efate, and associated with first arrival Vanuatu archipelago approximately 3000 This experimental revision incorporate aDNA into...
This artist-led research project involved 10 visual artists producing ambient portraits and a portrait average of locally familiar Sitter, less Sitter. All were then assessed for likeness by more than 150 members the general public attending an exhibition during Australia’s 2018 National Science Week. The results this study are that averages can be highly shape accurate tend to seen as good all viewers. However, is not necessarily best likeness. Extending validating our previous findings...
This case study is an initial exploration as to whether the depiction of texture in a set portraits, all portraying same Sitter, related familiar likeness assessments reported companion paper containing principal component analysis (PCA) portraits' shape. Somewhat unexpectedly, PCA failed discriminate high from low despite experimentation with different pre-processing methods reduce level uninformative, image-level variability. There were some findings arising these analyses, and while only...
