Abstract

Automating the process of postmortem (PM) identification of individuals using dental records is receiving increased attention. In developing a research prototype of an Automated Dental Identification System (ADIS), research teams from multiple institutions collaborated with forensic experts from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal Justice Information Services division to identify the functional requirements of ADIS. A multitude of digital image processing and pattern recognition techniques were developed to meet the requirements of the constituent components of ADIS. In this demo, we present a web-based environment called webADIS that integrates ADIS components and provides a unified web-based interface. webADIS provides support for configuring the system into multiple possible realizations for some components as well as alternative identification strategies.
