Pose & perspective in face examination

Changes in pose and perspective can introduce significant changes to facial morphology, making the task of forensic face examination particularly challenging. Our two-day in-person training course on pose and perspective provides a critical understanding of how differences in pitch, roll and yaw, as well as changes caused by subject-to-camera distance and lens distortion can alter facial morphology.
