Medical imaging and specific depth sensors are accurate but not suitable for an easy-to-use and portable tool. The recent development of deep learning (DL) models opens new challenges for 3D shape reconstruction from a single image. However, the 3D face shape reconstruction of facial palsy patients is still a challenge, and this has not been investigated. The contribution of the present study is to apply these state-of-the-art methods to reconstruct the 3D face shape models of facial palsy patients in natural and mimic postures from one single image. Three different methods (3D Basel Morphable model and two 3D Deep Pre-trained models) were applied to the dataset of tBioengineering (Basel, Switzerland)619https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9687570biostudies-literatureFast 3D Face Reconstruction from a Single Image Using Different Deep Learning Approaches for Facial Palsy Patients.PMC9687570Dakpe SNguyen TNHo Ba Tho MCDao TTNguyen DPfalseFast 3D Face Reconstruction from a Single Image Using Different Deep Learning Approaches for Facial Palsy Patients.The 3D reconstruction of an accurate face model is essential for delivering reliable feedback for clinical decision support.
