Introduction

JSDNE package has been developed as a novel adult age estimation method using computational and mathematical approaches. It uses the 3D reconstructed whole auricular surface and apex, saved as a .ply file. It is recommended that those ply files be inputted using the Rcvg package. Once the files are inputted, the curvatures are calculated by Dirichlet Normal Energy (DNE), and the DNE-curvature variables are created in the code. The package provides three age estimation methods: PCQDA, PCR, PCLR. The user will obtain the estimated results in a few seconds.It is important to note when using this package that the inputted whole surface and the inputted apex must be written in location of x and y, respectively.
