Abstract :
The aim of craniofacial reconstruction is to produce a likeness of a face from the skull. Few works in computerized assisted facial reconstruction have been done in the past, due to poor machine performances and data availability, and major works are manual reconstructions. In this paper, we present an approach to build 3D statistical models of the skull and the face with soft tissues from 3D CT scans. This statistical model is used by our reconstruction method to produce 3D soft tissues from the skull of one individual. Results on real data are presented and are promising.
