Facial reconstruction is a kind of scientific technology of rebuilding facial features on a skull. It is according to the rules of the relationship between skull and skin, and is widely applied in the fields such as criminalistics, archeology and so on. There are two primary methods: manual facial reconstruction and computer aided 3D facial reconstruction. Manual reconstruction generally spends about seven to fifteen workdays. Furthermore, it cannot reproduce the texture of the skin. Therefore, the effect of the reconstruction is not very ideal. With the development of computer technology, virtual 3D facial reproduction in virtue of computer appeared, that is computer aided 3D facial reconstruction. This paper mainly introduced the basic techniques of computer aided facial reconstruction and respective development.
