文摘This article presents a new numerical method for facial reconstruction.The problem is the following:given a dry skull,reconstruct a virtual face that would help in the identification of the subject.The approach combines classical features as the use of a skulls/faces database and more original aspects:(1)an original shape matching method is used to link the unknown skull to the database templates;(2)the final face is seen as an elastic 3D mask that is deformed and adapted onto the unknown skull.In this method,the skull is considered as a whole surface and not restricted to some anatomical landmarks,allowing a dense description of the skull/face relationship.Also,the approach is fully automated.Various results are presented to show its efficiency.
