Project: Human Face Analysis Using Revised Neoclassical Canons
Student Researchers: Gennette Gill, Sarah Ostentoski
Advisor: Ashok Samal
Institution: University of Nebraska - Lincoln




Understanding topological and relational properties human face is an important problem in many areas including security, information retrieval, and reconstructive surgery. The goal of this study is to understand relationship between various features in a human face. The approach is based on the formulations of scholars and artists of the Renaissance with foundations in classical Greek canons. This project will combine several different fields of study such as computer science, mathematics, biology, and art to discover how they affect recognition of the face.
