Landmarks of the facial nerve: implications for parotidectomy

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2006
Facial nerve paralysis is a daunting potential complication of parotid surgery and is widely reported. Knowledge of the key landmarks of the facial nerve trunk is essential for safe and effective surgical intervention in the region of the parotid gland.

Surgical Landmarks for the Facial Nerve

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1991
A number of different approaches can be used to expose the facial nerve. The route taken will depend on the pathology and the portion of the nerve that requires exposure. When performing a parotidectomy approach to the extratemporal portion of the facial nerve, the tragal pointer is a key landmark, but other landmarks also should be used to identify ...

Manson's point: A facial landmark to identify the facial artery

Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2015
The anatomy of the facial artery, its tortuosity, and branch patterns are well documented. To date, a reliable method of identifying the facial artery, based on surface landmarks, has not been described. The purpose of this study is to characterize the relationship of the facial artery with several facial topographic landmarks, and to identify a ...

Facial Landmark Localization

2011
Acquiring facial landmarks, for example, eye contours, mouth corners, nose, etc. is a very important and fundamental work in face recognition and face analysis related areas. This is therefore the task of facial landmark localization. In this chapter, a framework of facial landmark localization is introduced, aimed at finding the accurate positions of ...

Landmark localization approach for facial computing

2017 Conference on Information Communication Technology and Society (ICTAS), 2017
Face landmark localization is the technique of finding certain features on the face for subsequent face processing. With the recent growth in robust face recognition using facial components, facial landmark localization has proven to be an important phase for any subsequent processing on face images or facial components.

Facial landmark detection in uncontrolled conditions

2011 International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB), 2011
Facial landmark detection is a fundamental step for many tasks in computer vision such as expression recognition and face alignment. In this paper, we focus on the detection of landmarks under realistic scenarios that include pose, illumination and expression challenges as well as blur and low-resolution input.

Facial landmark configuration for improved detection

2012 IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS), 2012
In this paper, we present two methods to improve the performance of landmark detection algorithms that are designed to detect individual landmarks. We focus on the landmark configuration module that takes the output of the individual landmark detectors and searches for a configuration of optimal landmark locations based on appropriate shape constraints.

Predicting Facial Beauty without Landmarks

2010
A fundamental task in artificial intelligence and computer vision is to build machines that can behave like a human in recognizing a broad range of visual concepts. This paper aims to investigate and develop intelligent systems for learning the concept of female facial beauty and producing human-like predictors.

Surgical Landmark for the Facial Nerve in the Epitympanum

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1980
The bony partition between the epitympanum and the anterior epitympanum serves as a reliable landmark for the facial nerve canal which is located at its base. The consistency of this landmark probably relates to the fact that it forms part of the fallopian canal during fetal development.

A deep facial landmarks detection with facial contour and facial components constraint

2016 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), 2016
In this paper, we propose a new facial landmarks detection method based on deep learning with facial contour and facial components constraints. The proposed deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) for facial landmark detection consists of two deep networks: one DCNN is to detect landmarks constrained on the facial contour and the other is to detect ...
