Outline of Final Research Achievements

Facial prosthetic treatment is an effective option for the patients with facial defects in order to recover their disfigurement and social life. In this study, in order for the facial prosthesis to remain in position, especially around marginal areas subject to movement, we developed a new method of making 3D facial expression models using time-series data allowing changes in facial expression by morphing techniques.
