The possibility of using the video superimposition technique for the identification of a skull by comparing it with photographs of missing persons is based on the fact that the human skull, unlike any other part of the human skeleton, shows unmistakable individual characteristics. In order to obtain a quantification, the individuality of human skulls is defined in terms of craniometric data and their probability distribution. First calculations based on the coordinates of some important encephalometric points of 52 European skulls suggest that there are individual aspects comparable to those of fingerprints. Under certain conditions, the video superimposition technique can establish very strong evidence for the identity of an unknown skull, provided that it is applied correctly and carefully.
通过将颅骨与失踪人员照片进行比对，利用视频叠加技术来识别颅骨具有可能性，这基于以下事实：人类颅骨与人体骨骼的其他任何部分不同，具有明确无误的个体特征。为了进行量化，人类颅骨的个体性是根据颅骨测量数据及其概率分布来定义的。基于52个欧洲颅骨的一些重要脑测量点的坐标进行的初步计算表明，存在与指纹类似的个体特征。在某些条件下，只要正确、仔细地应用视频叠加技术，就能为识别未知颅骨提供非常有力的证据。
