RESUMO
The use of antemortem photographic records of facial features in the identification of human skeletal remains has been well established over the past 40 years. In the identification process, establishing the correct enlargement factor of the photograph to the skull is a critical factor. The enlargement of the photograph to "life size" must be accurate if facial features are to be accurately superimposed. This enlargement factor has been based on the linear measurements of fabric on the victim, items within a room in which the photograph portrait was taken, or the focal length of the camera lens.The aim of this paper is to describe in detail this technique, using video equipment, to enlarge antemortem photographs and then superimpose these on the video picture of the skull of the suspected deceased person (AU)
