Abstract
In facial aesthetics, soft tissue landmark recognition and linear and angular measurement play a critical role in treatment planning. Visual identification and judgment by hand are time-consuming and prone to errors. As a result, user-friendly software solutions are required to assist healthcare practitioners in improving treatment planning. Our first goal in this paper is to create a computational tool that may be used to identify and save critical landmarks from patient X-ray pictures. The second goal is to create automated software that can assess the soft tissue facial profiles of patients in both linear and angular directions using the landmarks that have been identified. To boost the contrast, we employ gamma correction and a client-server web-based model to display the input images. Furthermore, we use the client-side to record landmarks in pictures and save the annotated landmarks to the database. The linear and angular measurements from the recorded landmarks are then calculated computationally and displayed to the user. Annotation and validation of 13 soft tissue landmarks were completed. The results reveal that our software accurately locates landmarks with a maximum deviation of 1.5 mm to 5 mm for the majority of landmarks. Furthermore, the linear and angular measurement variances across users are not large, indicating that the procedure is reliable.
