Automatic Postmortem Human Identification using Collarbone of X-ray and CT Scan Images

Nowadays, human identification both before and after death is becoming one of the most important issues in various aspects. However, it is not easy to identify human by doctors or forensic experts manually because it consumes much time, especially in large scale victims. Therefore, an automatic human identification system becomes a vital need. For this purpose, we develop a computerized human identification system based on the collarbone of chest X-ray and CT scan images to identify an unknown person after death by using image processing technology.
