Forensic personal identification using two-dimensional computed tomographic imaging of the frontal sinus: a comparative analysis of feature matching algorithms
Feature-matching algorithms applied to CT images demonstrated high reliability for personal identification. AKAZE performed better than ORB in distinguishing between the matched and mismatched groups. These findings support the potential application of this method to forensic investigations, particularly where DNA, fingerprints, and dental materials are not available.
