Abstract

This work presents a procedure for the 3D detection and measurement of facial swellings, an issue of paramount importance in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The considered problems are the automatic acquisition of face masks of adequate precision, the registration of the 3D masks of the same patient taken at different times during the edema evolution, and the detection and estimate of the edema volumes.
