METHOD OF MAKING A MASK WITH CUSTOMIZED FACIAL FEATURES
First Claim
1. A method of making a mask of a subject'"'"'s face having a shape adapted to interfit with a corresponding mask-receiving portion on a head, the method comprising:
- obtaining at least 3D image data of the subject'"'"'s face;
computer processing the 3D image data using facial feature recognition software to identify preselected facial landmarks in the 3D image data;
aligning the image represented by the 3D image data with a mask model using at least one of the identified preselected facial landmarks;
projecting the perimeter of the aligned mask model on the aligned image represented by 3-D image data;
trimming the image represented by the 3D image data to the projected perimeter of the aligned mask model;
bending the edge portions of the image represented by the 3D image data to manage the gap between the edge perimeter of the image represented by the 3D image and the edge perimeter of the mask model;
generating image data to fill the gap between the edge perimeter of the image represented by the 3D image and the edge perimeter of the mask model,and mating the image represented by the 3D image data to a mask data set.

Abstract
A method of making a mask of a subject'"'"'s face having a shape adapted to interfit with a corresponding mask-receiving portion on a head, includes the steps of obtaining at least 3D image data of the subject'"'"'s face; computer processing the 3D image data using facial feature recognition software to identify preselected facial landmarks in the 3D image data; aligning the image represented by the 3D image data with a mask model using at least one of the identified preselected facial landmarks; projecting the perimeter of the aligned mask model on the aligned image represented by 3-D image data; trimming the image represented by the 3D image data to the projected perimeter of the aligned mask model; bending the edge portions of the image represented by the 3D image data to manage the gap between the edge perimeter of the image represented by the 3D image and the edge perimeter of the mask model; generating image data to fill the gap between the edge perimeter of the image represented by the 3D image and the edge perimeter of the mask model, and mating the image represented by the 3D image data to a mask data set.
