  • Anthropometry

Background:

  • Standardized lateral skull radiographs present challenges in accurate landmark localization.
  • Objective methods are needed for precise facial profile analysis and quantitative description.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an objective method for identifying facial landmarks on lateral skull radiographs.
  • To enable quantitative description of facial contours and features.
  • To analyze facial growth patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized scale space filtering and curvature analysis techniques, originally from pattern recognition.
  • Applied the method to lateral skull radiographs of adolescent females and a longitudinal cohort.
  • Performed segmentation and quantitative analysis of facial profiles.
