Faces have been object of a recent intensive research on the border between biological or forensic anthropology, computer science, medical image analysis, statistics, and genetics. The paper gives an overview of methods for the analysis of two-dimensional and three-dimensional images which are applicable to practical tasks of biological and forensic anthropology. An up-to-date overview of methods of image analysis for various anthropological tasks is given, including methods of image preprocessing, rigid and deformable template matching, geometric morphometrics, robust image analysis, and statistical methods suitable for information extraction from images. An attention is also paid to remarkable image analysis methods which have been recently proposed in computer science for the analysis of facial images.
