1. ABOUT THE DATASET -------------------- Title: Digital database of nose models for nasal prosthesis design generated with 3D morphable face model approach Creator(s): Rachael Y Jablonski, Chris Bojke, Sue H Pavitt, Brian R Nattress, Andrew J Keeling Organisation(s): University of Leeds Rights-holder(s): Rachael Y Jablonski, Chris Bojke, Sue H Pavitt, Brian R Nattress, Andrew J Keeling, University of Leeds Publication Year: 2023 Description: Designing nasal prostheses can be challenging due to the unpaired nature of the facial feature which precludes the use of mirroring techniques. It can be particularly difficult to accurately replace the missing tissue when preoperative information about the previous anatomy is unavailable or inadequate. In such situations, a database of nose models could act as a helpful starting point for the computer-aided design of a nasal prosthesis. Various digital nose model libraries are described in the literature based upon the facial scans of volunteers or anatomic casts. However, these libraries do not appear to be readily accessible to researchers or clinicians. Therefore, an open-access digital database of nose models has been generated based upon a 3D Morphable Face Model approach. This database comprises a manageable number of 44 simple, well-behaved nose meshes with standardized alignment that are ideal for computer-aided design.
