Morphological Examination of photographs for Establishing Identity

摘要

Photographs of 200 individuals, all adults, belonging to two endogamous caste groups (Kayasthas andBrahmins) have been examined morphologically for establishing identity. Since the direct measurements onphotographs are liable to change because of their size differences, indices of measurements have been compared.A close similarity in the indices between a set of two photographs indicates that they most likely belong to aparticular individual while dissimilarity means they are from different individuals.
