AceFace

Today I decided to devote some of my time to create "AceFace" application. AceFace is somewhat similar to Facemash but it employs a totally different algorithm. This new algorithm of  mine accounts for various the proportions of the human face and records the deviation from the Golden ratio. Basing on these deviations from "phi" the attractiveness of the face is calculated but the fun part comes next.

AceFace compares two faces and declares which one of the two faces is attractive and also shows by how much percent the unattractive face fails to be attractive.

If people think that i'm just trying to recreate facemash, then i'm happy to say that they are wrong cause fashmash used the "elo rating system" which is used to calculate the relative skill level of players in any game like chess and multiplayer games like Age of Empires but it has been replaced by Power rating system. Somehow I landed in the game section but elo rating system is used extensively in Texas hold'em Poker.

Coming back to the subject at hand I have finished coding the calculation part of the algorithm. All i have to do is to complete coding the user interface and the input stream. I'll post it here on my blog ASAP. Untill then make fun of this pic.I call it "If Hitler was Emo".
