Cliniface: Open source 3D Facial Image Visualization and Analysis Software
Cliniface is an open-source facial analysis solution. It supports many file formats. It's built using many open-source libraries and frameworks. Cliniface is built on a modular architecture, which allows developers to extend its functionalities and features.
Description (By the developer):
Faces can provide clues about an individual’s condition through subtle variations in facial features (facial phenotypes). These variations are part of the spectrum of who we are as individuals. For instance, 1/3 of rare diseases have facial clues and identifying these can aid diagnosis.
The Cliniface project is a partnership between the Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information (CRCSI), Department of Health Western Australia, Curtin University, the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, the Undiagnosed Diseases Program WA and Linear Clinical Research.
