Craniofacial similarity comparison in craniofacial reconstruction
颅面重构中颅面相似度比较*

Current methods of craniofacial reconstruction always choose the reference skull or the facial template based on the values of race, gender, age, nutrition, but these values do not include the properties of the skull (shape value e.g.). In addition, whether the reconstruction resembles the person of the object skull or not is still a difficult problem. Therefore, this paper presented a method of craniofacial similarity comparison, in which classified landmarks into two categories and computed different distances, so the reference skull or facial template could be chosen for further computation and to estimate the final result. Experimental results demonstrate the results computed are consistent with what the volunteers chose.
