A New Approach to Studying Whole Bodies and Body Parts Applied to Problems of Forensic Science. To bring to the study of whole humans and human body parts, new methods capable of major advances such as those already provided by DNA technology in the study of human tissues, cells and molecules. This will allow better identification of human groups, geographic populations, gender differences and ageing.

A Computer-Aided Cartooning System. This project is aimed at developing a computer-aided system to accelerate main image-related processes in cartoon production. Using such a system, many of the tedious and repetitive tasks can be performed semi-automatically. The project is focused on accurate representation and matching of shapes. New vectorization methods based on projection onto convex sets (POCS), and new matching methods based on multi-stage hierarchical structures will be developed.
