Computer-based craniofacial reconstruction utilizes medical imaging for forensic identification and medical reconstruction surgery, enables sophisticated three-dimension object representation and visualization. Reconstruction process involves deformation in their imagery how the shape of a person's face based on its properties and landmark correspondences. We propose the Laplacian surface deformation to deform the facial template to the cranial surface on several constraints that simulates fitting face to the skull using landmark correspondences. The range of variation of the landmarks on the human face lies in narrow intervals. In other words, small differences can affect the shape and facial expressions. Thus, a Laplacian surface model gives better result than a volumetric Laplacian in the matter of accuracy.
