Faces...

Featured Replies

I was just reading a piece on facial recognition when it dawned on me how many different faces can you draw with such a limited canvas.

Think of it!  Head sizes aren't all that different although there are long faces and short faces and round faces and what we consider normal size faces.

But all you have to work with are two eyes, a nose, a mouth, a forehead and a chin.  How can there be six billion different faces with so little to work with?

A small percentage of people might look the same, but is there anyone out there who looks just like me?  Or you?

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

I was hoping to be Robert Redford's doppelganger, instead, I got Freddy Krueger.  At least I'm the nice guy version.

Underneath that nose, mouth, forehead and chin is bone. I think the very structure in detail of all them bones will make quite a difference.

I once looked like Arnie Becker...now I look more like Corbin Bernsen!

On the topic of facial recognition capability, think of how much all us change (facial features) as we age as well!

It is the endless combinations of the same thing, Eyes Nose and Mouth could lead to over 10 million variations just like Blue Red and Yellow can also lead to over 10 million variations that the human eye can distinguish
