Abstract

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a surgery to correct a wide spectrum of diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard soft tissues of maxillofacial region. Our aim is to efficiently reconstruct a damaged human face by matching the deformed skull structure along with the patient’s image with our existing images in the database and then selecting the image and pose that best matches the face that needs to be reconstructed. A similar kind of facial structure can then be constructed for the damaged face. Following a sequence of five steps including, face detection, feature detection, replacement, shifting and blending a final conclusion is drawn.
