Facial Prototyping & transforming

Monday, January 29th, 2007

For apparently, that’s what those average faces are called: Facial Prototyping

It looks faffy. Basically, to get clear outlines you need to morph all of the pictures to the same shape. Interesting though.

So SilentBob has posted over on EverythingEverything about this picture I showed him:

The Androgynous One

which is made up from a fairly large equal number of women and men. To me, it’s a teenage boy, but to Rob, it’s a fairly attractive girl. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not dissing Rob on this one - I think it’s very androgynous whatever it is, it’s a tough call.

So when I came across this tool that applies transformations to faces, I had to have a play. Part of the way it applies transformations is by comparing the images to the average images for a rough ethnic/sexual type that you define at the start: in our case either a caucasian male or female (hispanic would have been closer, I think, but not available). So here are two very obviously different routes to take - both older adults, one male one female. Which do you think looks more realistic? (images are clickable)
