A new touch up software has been developed which uses a mathematical formula to alter the original form into a theoretically more attractive version, while maintaining what programmers call an unmistakable similarity to the original.
The software program, developed by computer scientists in Israel, is based on the responses of 68 men and women, age 25 to 40, from Israel and Germany, who viewed photographs of white male and female faces and picked the most attractive ones.
Scientists took the data and applied an algorithm involving 234 measurements between facial features, like distances between lips and chin, the forehead and the eyes, or between the eyes.
The computer was trained, for each individual face, the most attractive set of distances and then choose the ideal closest to the original face.
Photographs of 92 women and 33 men were run through the softwarwe. Changes were made only to the geometry of the faces. Wrinkles were not smoothed and hair color was not
Symmetry and youthfulness are core of the beauty concept. Others are clarity or smoothness of skin; and vivid color in the eyes and hair.
This beautification has been developed by Tommer Leyvand with three other Tel Aviv University .
