Abstract:A method for facial shape and movement measurement based on Fourier transform profilometry(FTP) was proposed.A sequence of dynamic deformed fringe images on the surface of human face was grabbed by CCD camera and saved on disk rapidly.By Fourier transform,filtering,inverse Fourier transform and unwrapping these phase maps in 3-D phase space.The complex shape deformation when the movement of mouth was recovered.With digital shape of human face,the oral and maxillofacial surgeon is able to design the future new face of patient easily.
