Focus of facial identification research is to isolate features that can be considered a factor of individualization. Anthropometry and Anthroposcopy have been the most important research tools in the field of forensic anthropology. These two methods of observation and data collection are made both on the living and on skeletonized human remains. Anthropometry is a systematic study of human measurements. Morphological analysis of unmeasurable features usually is the area of anthroposcopy. Hence, this study aims to assess different human faces using anthropometry and anthroposcopy. A total of 100 subjects were included in the study, prosopic index given by Martin and Saller was used to classify facial types. An anthropometric measurement was used to assess the facial proportions and anthroposcopy for facial morphology. A significant number of subjects were of hyperleptoprosopic facial type, and with a significant sexual dimorphism observed among the Indian population. Anthroposopic analysis showed common morphological features in each prosopic indices. The findings in our study may throw light on anthropometric and anthroposcopic features of Indians and help significantly in the field of forensic anthropology.
面部识别研究的重点是分离出可被视为个体化因素的特征。人体测量学和人体相貌学一直是法医人类学领域最重要的研究工具。这两种观察和数据收集方法既适用于活人，也适用于骨骼化的人类遗骸。人体测量学是对人体测量的系统研究。对不可测量特征的形态学分析通常属于人体相貌学的范畴。因此，本研究旨在使用人体测量学和人体相貌学评估不同的人脸。该研究共纳入了100名受试者，采用马丁和萨勒给出的面部指数对面部类型进行分类。使用人体测量法评估面部比例，用人体相貌学评估面部形态。相当数量的受试者为超狭长脸面部类型，并且在印度人群中观察到了显著的性别二态性。人体相貌学分析显示，每种面部指数都有常见的形态特征。我们研究中的发现可能会揭示印度人的人体测量学和人体相貌学特征，并在法医人类学领域有重大帮助。
