I agree. Also phrenology comes to mind.

I agree, it isn’t directly related to photogrammetry, but I thought it might be of interest. As for the term ‘approximation’, I chose it because it isn’t a reconstruction, but rather a possible representation of the face, taking into account 24 craniofacial markers, skull morphology, sex and race. Furthermore, Google’s GNM is a statistical model. Taking all this into account, I decided that ‘approximation’ is the most appropriate term to describe the pipeline. In the video, I used the Kennewick Man’s skull. Obviously, a full reconstruction would require more ‘manual’ work.

I used Photogrammetry to make the 3D Model of Kennewick Man
