Title
A system for quantifying facial symmetry from 3D contour maps based on transfer learning and fast R-CNN
Abstract
Physicians spend much time observing the facial symmetry of patients and collecting various data to arrive at an accurate clinical judgment. This study presents a transfer learning method for evaluating the degree of facial symmetry. The contour map of a face is used as training data, and the training module then classifies and scores the degree of facial symmetry. Our method enables rapid and accurate clinical assessments. In the experiments, we divided 195 contour maps of patients’ faces provided by physicians and then classified the data into four fractional levels based on the average scores of facial symmetry provided by doctors. Subsequently, the facial data were trimmed, ipped, and superimposed. After being processed, the extent of the contour overlap was used as the basis for learning. We used data augmentation to increase the amount of data. Finally, we applied fine-tuning and transfer learning to obtain prediction models, which showed excellent performance.
