How do you call a person, whose profession is to discern types of people's appearance, eyes form, etc.?

Question

I'm not English-speaking, that's why i might not explain well what i mean. It is a profession, somebody who is specialized in knowing types of nose, eyes, & all of the body structure differencies. This specialist is of great help when people describe a criminal, for example. S/he asks appropriate questions in order to have a picture of the criminal from the words of eyewitnesses. I hope i managed to make it clear. Thanks to all who will find time to answer

Answer 1

i think it would be a physical anthopologist, they know about those kind of facts and the specialization would be the forensic work because the measure of the physical caracteristics in order to make social differentiations is something that is not well received in the academic community, that's something that was made in the early years of 20th century by the anthropologists.

also the physical anthropologists study nutrition, osteology, biochemistry, cultural deformations in the body and it can be made in ancient bones or with living persons

Answer 2

Forensic Anthropologist

Sketch artists draw pictures of people based on witnesses' descriptions.

Sketch artists are also called composite, forensic, or police artists. However, a sketch artist¿s goal is not to create art. They try to draw detailed and accurate pictures of suspects for police to use in solving crimes.

Sketch artists meet with witnesses or victims to learn what they remember about suspects. They ask questions to help them remember details. For example, they may ask about eye color, skin color, and the shape of the suspect's nose. They may show witnesses a book of drawings of facial features. Looking at drawings of noses, lips, and eyes of different shapes, may help witnesses describe the features of the people they saw.

Based on the information they gather from witnesses, sketch artists draw initial sketches. They share them with witnesses to get feedback. They make changes to sketches until witnesses think the sketches look like the person they were describing. Artists may draw both a full face and a profile view of suspects. Occasionally, victims or witnesses also give descriptions of other people who were near the crime scene. These people could be witnesses who may not realize that they saw a crime scene.

Depending on their training, sketch artists may also do reconstructive work. This process involves using skeletal remains and clay to create a three-dimensional (3-D) model of a face. Using their knowledge of the gender, age, and race of the remains, sketch artists mold facial features. Facial features vary slightly by race. For example, some races have larger noses or smaller lips than others. The gender of the remains helps the artist determine the size of the features. The age of the remains helps the artist determine whether to include wrinkles or other age-related modifications. Artists analyze these three factors and other information about the person while molding the face. Some artists use computers nstead of clay to do this process.

Some artists create sketches of people at different ages. They work from photographs and create sketches of people as they might look when they are older. Police use these pictures when they need a picture of someone who has been hiding for many years.

Sketch artists may document crime scenes. They use measurements gathered by forensic technicians to create rough sketches of crime scenes or objects that may be missing. These sketches are used by investigators who did not visit crime scenes.
