Outline of Final Research Achievements

Three dimensional (3D) facial reconstruction (FR) method was developed. Head CT images were obtained from 64 Japanese individuals. Shapes of skull and head surface were extracted from these CT images. On the skull shape, 38 landmarks were defined and orientation and size were standardized by Procrustes analysis. The skull shape was simplified by simulating virtual film covering the skull shape based on steepest descent method (SDM). Homologous shape models consisted of 40,962 data points were created for these simplified skull shapes also by the method with SDM. On each data point, length to the head surface was measured. The FR of specific skull was performed by creating the homologous model of its simplified skull shape, followed by applying the average length to each data point. The reconstructed 3D face shapes represented morphological features of their original skulls. These features can be recognized well while rotating reconstructed face. This is one of the merits of 3D FR.
