| Description | Human face, the most visible part of a human body, gives information about the identity of the person, their health condition, and at the same time it is subject to high esthetic demands. Human face is the subject of research of a number of clinical fields, including orthodontics. Traditional forms of research are innovated by advanced recording methods related to computer support. The aim of the work is to survey new technologies, including optical 3D scanning and creation of digital databases of 3D models, and to introduce the 3D models of children`s faces database that is being developed at Laboratory of morphology and forensic anthropology, Department of Anthropology of Faculty of Science, Masaryk University in Brno. The models are made with stereophotogrammetric 3D imaging system Vectra M1. The database already includes 992 individuals below 18 years together with basic demographic and biological data (e.g. date of birth, sex, place of birth and permanent address, nationality, body height or body weight). The continually growing database covers a wide spectrum of variability of human face, and can be used in anthropology and clinical medicine. |
