The invention discloses a three-dimensional
craniofacial reconstruction method based on the overall facial structure shape data of Chinese people, comprising the following steps of: (1) acquiring a thickness
distribution model of a facial
soft tissue based on the statistic analysis of a large amount of
human head CT (
Computed Tomography) data; (2) unfolding the
soft tissue layer and the
skull surface layer of a
human head through a cylinder, and projecting the
soft tissue layer and the
skull surface layer to a two-dimensional flat surface, representing the soft tissue shape and the
skull shape by using a two-dimensional
depth map, and training a
radial basis function network to realize the change between the skull to be reconstructed and the common soft
tissue thickness distribution form; (3) constructing a shape subspace of local organs of the reconstructed face based on the
craniofacial facial structure shape classification of human species, and learning the mapping between the
craniofacial local shape and the local shape of the reconstructed face; (4) correcting the reconstructed
face model by combining the integral soft
tissue distribution and the local characteristic shape deformation, i.e. completing three-dimensional craniofacial reconstruction and
correctness of the input skull by adding the two-dimensional depth maps of the soft tissue shape and the shape of the skull to be reconstructed; and (5) synthesizing a complete texture graph of the face through facial
texture mapping by using orthogonal pictures, and rendering the
skin color and the hair style of the reconstructed human picture to enhance the reality sense of the human picture. By applying the method, the problems of missing reconstruction details and lack of individual characteristics are solved, the manufacturing cost of other anthropology researches and reconstruction technologies is saved, and the working efficiency is improved. The invention has high
automation degree and simple operation.
