| Popis | The shape of the orbital rim is one of the essential craniofacial features that play a crucial role in face perception, recognition or personal identification. As a consequence, it continues to attract a large variety of researchers, e.g., skeletal or forensic anthropologists, anatomists, physicians, psychologists etc. Despite being a focus since the rise of traditional anthropometrics, the 3-D nature of the orbital rim has not been satisfactorily quantified. This paper presents an approach to numerically describe the within- and among-population shape variation of the orbital rim, its curviness and spatial orientation using elliptic Fourier analysis. |
