A method and system for automatically producing data representative of a
modified head shape from data representative of a deformed head is
provided. The method includes a step of processing captured data for the
deformed head utilizing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to generate
PCA data representative of the deformed head. The method also includes
the steps of providing the PCA data as input to a neural network; and
utilizing the neural network to process the PCA data to provide data
representative of a corresponding modified head shape.
