Summary Background
Manual landmarking is a time consuming and highly professional work. Although some algorithm‐based landmarking methods have been proposed, they lack flexibility and may be susceptible to data diversity.

Methods
The CT images from 66 patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) were landmarked manually in MIMICS. Then the CT slices were exported as images for recreating the 3D volume. The coordinate data of landmarks were further processed in Matlab using a principal component analysis (PCA) method. A patch‐based deep neural network model with a three‐layer convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained to obtain landmarks from CT images.
