Abstract: Three-dimensional facial imaging technology is becoming more and more important in the current facial aesthetics related disciplines such as plastic surgery and orthodontics. The development of three-dimensional facial imaging is closely related to the extensive application of computer technology. The applications of three-dimensional laser scanning, cone-beam CT (CBCT), 3dMD stereoscopic imaging system, and convolutional neural network in facial measurement and analysis are all the results of closely combination of both, which brings the communication between doctors and patients, treatment plan, and result evaluation to a new level. Modern computer software technology is increasingly becoming an important auxiliary tool for clinicians. This paper reviews the specific applications and characteristics of various software techniques in three-dimensional facial imaging and measurement.

Key words: computer software, three-dimensional facial imaging, three-dimensional modeling
