ABSTRACT:
A method and system for automatically producing data representative of a modified head shape from data representative of a deformed head is provided. The method includes a step of processing captured data for the deformed head utilizing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to generate PCA data representative of the deformed head. The method also includes the steps of providing the PCA data as input to a neural network; and utilizing the neural network to process the PCA data to provide data representative of a corresponding modified head shape.
