4 Greek
+ Anthro- : man
+ -pometry: measurements
+ Literal meaning: “measurement of humans“
4 The study of measurements or proportions
of the human body according to sex, age,
etc. for identification purposes
+ Dimensions of bones, muscles, and adipose (fat)
tissues

4 Identification of repeated criminals
C

s

r
e Lombroso's Criminal Anthropology (1895):
“murderers have prominent jaws and pickpockets
have long hands and scanty beards”.
Eugene Vidocq: identification of criminals by facial
characteristics
4 Prevention of impersonation
4 Differentiation between the races
* Eugenics in Europe
4 Aryans from Jews: The Bureau for Enlightenment on
Population Policy and Racial Welfare recommended the
classification of Aryans and non-Aryans on the basis of
measurements of the skull and other physical features,
“craniometric" certification, required by law. The
consequences for not meeting requirements included
denial of permission to marry or work, and for many it
meant the death c

4 Intelligence tests became associated with
Anthropometry
9. Debate over Anthropometry
4 General Problems with
Anthropometry:
Cost and error of the instruments used
+ Education needed to be able to take the
measurements
+ Error in calculation and measurements

4 Will West Case
10. Body Identification using
Anthropometry
Bertillon used 5 basic measurements:
* head length
* head breadth
* length of middle finger
* Length of leh foot
* length from the elbow to the extremity of the middle finger
Today that list is more extensive:
* Gender
* Height
* Weight
* Age
^ Bicep circumference, buttock depth, chest breadth, elbow
circumference, eye height, forearm to hand, ear breadth, head
circumference, head length, hip breadth sitting, hip breadth

4 the automatic identification of a
person based on his/her physiological

Biometrics Applications
4 Forensics: criminal identification and
prison security
4 Prevention of unauthorized access to
ATMs, cellular phones, smart cards,
desktop PCs, workstations, and
computer networks
4 Automobiles: replace keys with key-
less entry and key-less ignition
4 Border control and national ID cards
21. Biometrics Programs
4 Fingerprint Identification
4 Hand Geometry: geometric shape of the
hand for authenticating a user's identity
4 Face Location: an arbitrary black and white,
still image, find the location and size of
every human face
4 Multibiometrics: integrates face recognition,
fingerprint verification, and speaker
verification in making a personal
identification
25. Cranial Anthropometry
4 Also known as Craniometry
4 measurement of the skull and face
»/ 3 ways to categorize the skull
+ dolichocephalic: long and thin
brachycephalic: short and broad
+ mesocephalic: intermediate length
and breadth
26. Terminology
Porion: the uppermost lateral point in the margin of the
external auditory meatus. The right and left porion with the
left orbitale define the Frankfort Horizontal
Mastoidale: the lowest point of the mastoid process
onion: the mi"dpoint of the angel of the mandible between
body and ramus.
Bregma: the intersection of the coronal and sagittal
sutures in the midline.
Lambda: the intersection of the sagittal and lambdoidal
sutures in the midline.
Nasion: the intersection of the nasofrontal suture with the
midsagittal plane. Nasion is the uppermost landmark for the
measure of facial height.
Menton: the lowest median point of the chin.
Pogonion: the most anterior point in the midline of the
chin.
