The age estimation of adult individuals is an important problem in forensic human identification. This is usually performed by methods based on age-related changes of human skeleton. In the present paper, the pulp/tooth ratio in peri-apical X-rays of canine is used for age estimation purposes. An image segmentation method is proposed for the automatic computation of the above mentioned area, and its implementation by a Matlab code is used to obtain a practical study on 70 canine radiographies of distinct known aged individuals.

Abstract

The age estimation of adult individuals is an important problem in forensic human identification. This is usually performed by methods based on age-related changes of human skeleton. In the present paper, the pulp/tooth ratio in peri-apical X-rays of canine is used for age estimation purposes. An image segmentation method is proposed for the automatic computation of the above mentioned area, and its implementation by a Matlab code is used to obtain a practical study on 70 canine radiographies of distinct known aged individuals.
