An accurate and thorough facial analysis is needed for the formulation of treatment plan in
rhinoplastic, dental and aesthetic surgical procedures. The analysis process is not difficult but tedious due to
accuracy requirements. Before technological advances, facial analysis was done manually to detect and interpret
facial characteristics. This procedure is often time consuming with greater error due to parallax and
approximation. The object of this study is to introduce a software tool design to simplify the analysis of facial
parameters. 2D photographic images of the face captured under varying condition of illumination where
analyzed with the aid of standard anatomical landmarks. Facial dimensions obtained where less time consuming
and accurate. The software is capable of depicting and quantifying craniofacial dimensions and facial soft tissue
profile at an increased speed and accuracy.
Key words: Angular measurements, anthropometry, facial analysis, linear measurements, software tool, 2D photogrammetry,
