Beauty is not the stuff of poetry anymore ; it can be quantify and generated mechanically via reckoner . At least , that ’s the claim of a group of researcher in Israel who have work up a new software package tool that can convert any face into the face of a supermodel . Computer scientist Daniel Cohen - Or , lead researcher on the project , said :
Beauty , contrary to what most people opine , is not simply in the eye of the percipient . Beauty can be quantified by mathematical measurement and ratios . It can be defined as average distance between feature , which a legal age of people agree are the most beautiful . I do n’t claim to bang much about beauty . For us , every picture in this research project is just a assemblage of numbers .
But Cohen - Or ’s mathematically - precise beauty is based entirely on immanent standard . He his enquiry team survey 68 Israeli and German military personnel and women , senior 25 to 40 , asking them to rank the beauty of 93 dissimilar humanity ’s and cleaning woman ’s face on a scurf of 1 to 7 . According to Science Daily :
These scores were then enter into a database and correlate to 250 dissimilar measure and facial feature , such as ratio of the nose , chin and distance from ear to eyes . From this , the scientist create an algorithm that applies worthy constituent of attractiveness to a bracing image .
So the algorithm merely reproduce the biases of a fairly small sample size of it of mass , asked to rank looker in a fairly artificial way . But patently , at least harmonize to the researchers it “ works ” in that most multitude think the photographs that go through the ravisher machine are raging than when they went in . Except one fourth dimension . Apparently Woody Allen ’s depiction was not improved by the process . Beauty Machine[via Science Daily ]
