ArXi:2603.00170v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Craniofacial Superimposition is a forensic technique for identifying skeletal remains by comparing a post-mortem skull with ante-mortem facial photographs. A critical step in this process is Skull-Face Overlay (SFO). This stage involves aligning a 3D skull model with a 2D facial image, typically guided by cranial and facial landmarks' correspondence. However, its accuracy is undermined by individual variability in soft-tissue thickness,
