  Craniofacial Superimposition involves the superimposition of an image of a
skull with a number of ante-mortem face images of an individual and the
analysis of their morphological correspondence. Despite being used for one
century, it is not yet a mature and fully accepted technique due to the absence
of solid scientific approaches, significant reliability studies, and
international standards. In this paper we present a comprehensive
experimentation on the limitations of Craniofacial Superimposition as a
forensic identification technique. The study involves different experiments
over more than 1 Million comparisons performed by a landmark-based automatic
3D/2D superimposition method. The total sample analyzed consists of 320
subjects and 29 craniofacial landmarks.
