To reconstruct different face units after trauma or oncologic resection we use different methods, according to dimensions, nature and site of the defect. In cases with extensive defects or mutilating sequelas, face transplant...

Analysis of 3d Face Reconstruction

The 3D shape reconstruction, from 2D images is an converse problem, and is therefore mathematically poorly posed. The solution to 3D shape reconstruction problem is to using a model based approach. Our paper presents an analysis by synthesis method for solving3D face reconstruction problems, using the anatomical landmarks and intensity from 2D frontal face images. To improve the quality of 3D s...
