Soft tissue modelling and facial movement simulation using the finite element method

This thesis presents a framework for soft tissue modelling, facial surgery simulation, and facial movement synthesis based on the volumetric finite element method. Assessment of facial appearance pre- and post-surgery is of major concern for both patients and clinicians. Pre-surgical planning is a p...
