The starting point for the development of a new shape measurement system was the request of surgeons working in the field of cranio‐facial and reconstructive surgery for an improved system for precise facial measurement. For the planning and documentation of surgical interventions, information on the bone structure of the patient is needed, which is imaged by computer tomography (CT). In particular in facial surgery it is vital to the patient, that not only the functionality of the face is given, but also the appearance of the patient is restored. To account for this aspect in the planning and evaluation of surgery, the outer appearance of a patient has to be documented, hence a surface model of the face has to be generated.
