Abstract
Objective:
To combine measurement and image technology as an objective means to help prosthodontists provide better service.
Methods:
The system was developed by consisting of two CCD cameras, real time hardware for the recognition of markers and software for the 3D reconstruction.
Results:
It allowed efficient, direct and noninvasive calculation of the 3D liner and angular measurements of the human face.
Conclusion:
This system is a useful way to get 3D information of the human face. It will be a good supplement to the classic cephalometric analyses.
