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…

In this work we present a method of automatic segmentation of defective skulls for custom cranial implant design and 3D printing purposes. Since such tissue models are usually required in patient cases with complex anatomical defects and…

Deducing the 3D face from a skull is a challenging task in forensic science and archaeology. This paper proposes an end-to-end 3D face reconstruction pipeline and an exploration method that can conveniently create textured, realistic faces…

We present 2 statistical models of the skull and mandible built upon an elastic registration method of 3D meshes. The aim of this work is to relate degrees of freedom of skull anatomy, as static relations are of main interest for…

Human skull identification is an arduous task, traditionally requiring the expertise of forensic artists and anthropologists. This paper is an effort to automate the process of matching skull images to digital face images, thereby…

In the context of computer assist surgical techniques, a new elastic registration method of 3D meshes is presented. In our applications, one mesh is a high density mesh (30000 vertexes), the second is a low density one (1000 vertexes).…

The skull segmentation from CT scans can be seen as an already solved problem. However, in MR this task has a significantly greater complexity due to the presence of soft tissues rather than bones. Capturing the bone structures from MR…

Biometrics has become a "hot" area. Governments are funding research programs focused on biometrics. In this paper the problem of person recognition and verification based on a different biometric application has been addressed. The system…

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a technology for non-invasive imaging of anatomical features in detail. It can help in functional analysis of organs of a specimen but it is very costly. In this work, methods for (i) virtual…

During the last decades, anatomy has become an interesting topic in education---even for laymen or schoolchildren. As medical imaging techniques become increasingly sophisticated, virtual anatomical education applications have emerged.…

Three-dimensional (3D) printed preoperative planning models serve a critical role in the success of many medical procedures. However, many of these models do not portray the patient's complete anatomy due to their monolithic and static…

Three-dimensional (3D) technologies have been developing rapidly recent years, and have influenced industrial, medical, cultural, and many other fields. In this paper, we introduce an automatic 3D human head scanning-printing system, which…

Objectives : This paper presents a new simulator for maxillo-facial surgery, that gathers the dental and the maxillo-facial analyses together into a single computer-assisted procedure. The idea is first to propose a repositioning of the…

Background: Individual skull models of bone density and geometry are important when planning the expected transcranial ultrasound acoustic field and estimating mechanical and thermal safety in low-intensity transcranial ultrasound…

Within anthropology, the use of three-dimensional (3D) imaging has become increasingly common and widespread since it broadens the available avenues for addressing a wide range of key anthropological issues. The ease with which 3D models…

Cranial implant design is a challenging task, whose accuracy is crucial in the context of cranioplasty procedures. This task is usually performed manually by experts using computer-assisted design software. In this work, we propose and…

Model-based treatment planning for transcranial ultrasound therapy typically involves mapping the acoustic properties of the skull from an x-ray computed tomography (CT) image of the head. Here, three methods for generating pseudo-CT images…

Computer Tomography (CT) images have become quite important to diagnose diseases. CT scan slice contains a vast amount of data that may not be properly examined with the requisite precision and speed using normal visual inspection. A…

Skull stripping magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the human brain is an important process in many image processing techniques, such as automatic segmentation of brain structures. Numerous methods have been developed to perform this task,…

3D Morphable Model (3DMM) fitting has widely benefited face analysis due to its strong 3D priori. However, previous reconstructed 3D faces suffer from degraded visual verisimilitude due to the loss of fine-grained geometry, which is…
