Abstract excerpt
Facial and cranial variation represent a multidimensional set of highly correlated and heritable phenotypes. Little is known about the genetic basis explaining this correlation. We develop a software package ALoSFL for simultaneous localization of facial and cranial landmarks from head computed tomography (CT) images, apply it in the analysis of head CT images of 777 Han Chinese women, and obtain a set of...
