Measure and comparison of facial attractiveness indices through photogrammetry and statistical analysis

Published: 26 October 2021 Publication History

Abstract

The aesthetic criteria have been analyzed for years in various studies, still leaving the debate open today. Beauty, while easy to identify, remains something difficult to define. Facial beauty, influenced by cultural, environmental and genetic aspects, is considered easier to characterize. By detecting certain points on the face, it was possible to compare the main linear and angular measurements of the face of 33 participants in an Italian beauty contest in 2015, therefore considered attractive, with those belonging to 33 women considered as reference group. The statistical test shows how a face considered attractive is characterized by measures that are, in most cases, more pronounced.
