Abstract

Cheiloscopy is a technique of forensic investigation with the purpose of identifying humans based on their lip prints. Analyzing the lip prints in detail, detailed characteristics could be deciphered, establishing a unique link with a specific person, thus helping in identification in persons using lip prints. Machine learning has significant applications in this forensic identification process with cheiloscopy, spanning from data collection to intelligent analysis. In this work, a design for a forensic decision support system has been proposed, aimed at identification of persons in terms of their biological sex based on cheiloscopy. In this respect, a generalized architecture for the implementation of cheiloscopy has been presented, along with the predictive modeling with lip prints using supervised algorithms, which has illustrated reasonable accuracy in identifying persons in terms of their biological sex.
