  • Patent number: 11151802
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for providing a face adjustment image, the method comprising the steps of: (a) generating a matched image by superimposing a cephalometric image having a cranium image of a patient whose face is to be corrected with a three-dimensional facial image of the patient; and (b) displaying a predicted facial image on a screen by transforming soft skin tissues of the face according to the skeletal change in the cephalometric image. According to the present invention, the change in the soft skin tissues and the predicted facial image are displayed on a screen of a computer, a terminal or the like based on the skeletal change in cranium, teeth, prosthesis or the like supporting the soft skin tissues. Therefore, the change in the soft skin tissues can be predicted, thereby increasing the accuracy of a face correction operation, making it more accurate and convenient to plan the operation, and enhancing communication between the patient and medical staff.

  • Patent number: 11004134
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, provided is a method for providing face-based services, comprising the steps of: (a) collecting, for at least one user, face-related data including face data; (b) determining a service provider matching the face-related data of a first user who wants to receive the service, by using a service provider introduction algorithm; (c) transmitting the face-related data of the first user to a server of the service provider; and (d) receiving, from the server of the service provider, the face-related data which is changed or newly generated by the service provided to the first user from the service provider, wherein information related to data processed in at least one step of steps (a), (b), (c) and (d) or information related to operations performed in at least one step of steps (a), (b), (c) and (d) is provided to a terminal device of the first user.

  • Patent number: 9314212
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an X-ray imaging apparatus, comprising: an X-ray imager including an X-ray beam generator for emitting an X-ray beam, an X-ray beam detector for detecting the X-ray beam to obtain an X-ray image of an object, and a main body unit in which the X-ray beam generator and the X-ray beam detector are installed; and a three-dimensional scanner arranged in the X-ray imager in order to obtain an image of the outer appearance of the object. According to the present invention, an X-ray image and an image of the outer appearance of an object, for example, an image of the skull and an image of the face, can be obtained at the same time, thereby minimizing image correction procedures for matching two images.
