INTRODUCTION The nasolabial flap (NLF) has many advantages in oromaxillary reconstruction, but the majority of cases are reconstructions after pathologic resections. Its usage in trauma surgery, especially in the management of gunshot wounds, is rarely mentioned. CASE PRESENTATION Three cases involving gunshot injuries to the face are presented: one for reconstruction of the nasal ala, anothe...

In this article we present a low cost 3 0 face modeling scheme that uses only an overhead projectoq a camera and a plane object. We deal with the calibration of such a system, the 3 0 face reconstruction itself; and then the texturing of the resulting 3 0 shape.

Facial comparison in 2D is an accepted method in law enforcement and forensic investigation, but pose variations, varying light conditions and low resolution video data can reduce the evidential value of the comparison. Some of these problems might be solved by comparing 3D face models: a face model derived from CCTV camera footage and a reference face model acquired from a suspect. In our case...

Face analysis fields are widely spread out over a large quantity of domains : Human Computer Interaction, security, movies post-production, games... It includes detection, recognition, 3D reconstruction, animation, and emotion analysis. Face animation was the main motivation of this thesis, and we always kept it in mind at anytime. We discuss here, most of the fields. We first talk about face r...

This article describes the management of chemical burns to the Asian face with resultant full thickness loss to the right side of the face including the eyelid and nose. We detail the techniques used to reconstruct the face which include skin grafting according to the aesthetic units of the face, accurate placement of junction lines, use of a chondrocutaneous graft to reconstruct the alar grove...

In this paper we propose a novel method that performs 3D face reconstruction, and non-constrained and non-contact gaze estimation on a moving object, whose head-pose can freely change, from multi-view video. The main idea is to first reconstruct the 3D face with high accuracy using symmetry prior. Then we generate a super-resolution virtual frontal face video from the estimated 3D face geometry...

BACKGROUND "Superthin flap" is a distinctively thin flap that is thinned primarily to the point that the subdermal vascular network can be seen through a minimal fat layer. Reconstruction of severely disfigured neck and face can be performed using the occipito-cervico-dorsal superthin flap that is harvested from the dorsal region and supercharged by the circumflex scapular vessels. We used bipe...

AIM We propose our experience in soft tissue reconstruction in Hemifacial microsomia using a free fascioadiposal flap. MATERIAL OF STUDY Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a congenital disorder characterized by craniofacial malformation of one or both sides of the lower face. A 18-year-old female presented with hemifacial microsomia involving the left side. A free SCIA/SIEA fascioadiposal flap wa...

The novel theory of compressive sensing takes advantage of the sparsity or compressibility of a signal in a specific domain allowing the assessment of its full representation from fewer measurements. In this work we tailored the concept of compressive sensing to assess the intrinsic discriminative capability of this method to distinguish human faces from objects. Afterwards we enrolled through ...
