Аннотация:The Laboratory of Anthropological Reconstruction of Russia works for many years on improvement of individual facial reconstruction method based on subjacent cranial structures analysis. The craniofacial correspondence program was created, being an algorithm of transition from cranium dimensions and characteristics determined to corresponding facial dimensions and characteristics. A system of equations of regression has been produced to calculate such characteristics as ear height and physiognomic facial height, nose and mouth width.
This report suggests equations of regression for eye fissure height and width calculation on the basis of eye-pit dimensions.The research was based on analysis of photographs of students from 18 up to 26 years old, including 35 men and 40 women.Osseous eye orbit contours were first marked out on faces by palpation. Photographs were taken with respect to standard anthropologic requirements (distance to lens was more than 1,8 meters; scale bar was placed due to face level). The photographs were processed (faces were measured) by a special graphics program.
The eye fissure length was measured from endocanthion to ectocanthion (including lachrymal tubercle); eye fissure height was measured in a place of maximum altitude and also eye orbit width and height was measured according to contour drawn.
An intercomparison of special aspects of the upper eyelid fold and upper orbit edge was made. The analysis of eye shape form and it's correlation to orbit configuration was also developed. The results showed a high correlation between mentioned data. The specific features of eye area asymmetry were analyzed.
