Realistic prediction of individual facial emotion expressions for craniofacial surgery simulations

摘要

In addition to the static soft tissue prediction, the estimation of individual facial emotion expressions is an important criterion for the evaluation of the craniofacial surgery planning. In this paper, we present an approach for the estimation of individual facial emotion expressions on the basis of geometrical models of human anatomy derived from tomographic data and the finite element modeling of facial tissue biomechanics.
