By means of X-ray photography tests were made of 224 (100 males and 124 females) volunteer Chinese adults of Han nationality to study the related regular patterns of superimposed projection of face landmarks onto the skull. On the basis of these tests, the present article reveals from a forensic anthropology angle the related regular patterns of plane projection of the human face with its skull. Study shows that there exist a strict individual identity and exclusiveness in relation between the human face and skull. The related regularity of displacement of face landmarks appears in projection of the skull with the human head at different photographic positions and angles. On the basis of this discovery, 52 indexes in 4 groups were established as a standard for judging the identification of a skull's body origin by means of skull-image superimposition. Based on forensic anthropology, the technique has raised to a great extent the credibility of unknown skull identification. In the past 8 years, 89 unknown skulls have been identified with their body origins which provided important and accurate evidence for the solution of murders with dismembered bodies, skeletonized bodies, and unidentified dead bodies.
通过X射线摄影，对224名（男性100名，女性124名）汉族成年中国志愿者进行了测试，以研究面部标志点在颅骨上的叠加投影的相关规律。基于这些测试，本文从法医人类学角度揭示了人脸与其颅骨的平面投影的相关规律。研究表明，人脸与颅骨之间存在严格的个体特异性和唯一性。面部标志点的相关位移规律出现在人头处于不同摄影位置和角度时颅骨的投影中。基于这一发现，建立了4组52个指标作为通过颅骨图像叠加判断颅骨身体来源鉴定的标准。基于法医人类学，该技术在很大程度上提高了无名颅骨鉴定的可信度。在过去8年中，已鉴定出89具无名颅骨的身体来源，为解决碎尸案、白骨案和无名尸体案提供了重要而准确的证据。
