Cranial morphometric features from Greek and Czech population samples

The present dataset comprises the cranial morphometric features extracted with the skullanalyzer v1.0 program from two European population samples. The dataset is divided in two zip files. The first file (HMI.zip) contains all the Height Map Image related .csv files, which concern the morphometric features of the occipital protuberance, the supraorbital ridge, and the lateral and inferior mastoid processes, whereas the second file (Results.zip) contains the NasionBregmaSegment polylines saved in .csv format along with the complementary .mat files, which contain all morphometric features into a single structure saved as GNU Octave data text format.

The Czech sample consists of 170 individuals, whose cranial 3D models have been reconstructed from previously anonymized DICOM data stored at the Department of Anthropology and Human Genetics, Faculty of Science, Charles University. The Greek sample comprises 156 individuals, whose cranial 3D models have been produced with photogrammetry from the Athens Collection housed at the Department of Animal and Human Physiology, Faculty of Biology, School of Sciences, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. The available .txt files contain the sex information for each individual along with an index referring to the filenames of morphometric features.

The present dataset was assembled as part of a study on cranial sex estimation and it is complementary to the implemented analysis code, which can be found here. The present dataset is made publicly available to enable the reproducibility of the aforementioned work but also to facilitate data sharing and engagement in further studies on cranial sex estimation.
