Landmark localization and registration
of 3D facial scans
for the evaluation of orthodontic treatments in
maxillofacial and oral surgery
School of EECS: Prathap Nair, Dr Andrea Cavallaro
School of Medicine and Dentistry: Dr Lifong Zou
Mid-project update
What is the problem?
• To quantify 3D facial asymmetry
•
•
•
•
Clinical diagnosis
Treatment planning
Post-treatment monitoring
Statistical studies on a large population
Approach: rigid registration
• What is rigid registration?
• Alignment of 2 or more faces
• Classical approach: Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm
• Advantage
• no prior info needed
• Disadvantage
• random points used for matching  can lead to erroneous results
Example
Our approach
• Rigid registration based on landmarks
• Landmark detection via Statistical Shape Analysis
BtG project: Achievement 1
• Improved accuracy

Proposed approach
BtG project: Achievement 2
• User friendly GUI
• To ease burden on clinicians
• User-feedback mechanisms
Conclusions
• Achievements
• Improved landmark localisation accuracy
• More user-friendly GUI with the user feedback
• Current work
• Clinical evaluation of the landmark detection accuracy
• Validation of 3D facial scan registration accuracy
• Further improving the GUI based on clinician feedback
