Table 3.

Planes for splitting 3D photographs into right face, left face, submental, and neck regions.

Plane Defined by Explanation
Frankfurter Landmarks: left and right Ex and one OBS of choice. Part of the 3D photograph superior to this plane is excluded, defining the superior border of the facial regions.
Face–submental Landmarks: left and right OBI and Pg’. Splits the face region from the submental region.
Submental–neck Landmarks: left and right OBI and H’. Splits the submental region from the neck region.
Neck inferior Landmarks: left, middle, and right Ninf. Part of the 3D photograph inferior to this plane is excluded, defining the inferior border of the neck region.
Mid Landmarks: Pg’, Sn, and midpoint between left and right Ex. Splits the face in left and right regions.
Head posterior Landmarks: left and right OBI and one OBS of choice. Part of the 3D photograph posterior to this plane is excluded, defining the posterior border of the facial regions.
Neck posterior Landmarks: left and right OBI; Plane defined by the landmarks: left and right A, and one OBS of choice. Part of the 3D photograph posterior to this plane is excluded, defining the posterior border of the neck region.
