RESULTS OF DETERMINING THE ASYMMETRY OF THE HUMAN FACIAL AREA IN PHOTOGRAPHS

Abstract

The article provides information on the results of determining the asymmetry of the human facial area in photographs. For this purpose, photographs of 16 people were studied by photometric analysis. The study used the Golden Ratio Face computer program. The study showed that in 7 of the studied 16 photographs, the encephalometric index was between 6,12-8,14, and the asymmetry degree was 82%. The encephalometric index in 5 photos was between 8.15-9.24, the asymmetry degree was 64% and only in 4 photos the encephalometric index was 9.25-11.16, the asymmetry degree was 32%. In 5 of studied images taken in the front view, the percentage of distances between the entocantion and exocantion points ranged from 18.6 to 19.2 on the right and from 20.6 to 21.3 on the left. Thus, a weak left asymmetry was observed in this dimension. In other figures, the measurement was 22.7 to 24.5 on the right and 27.8 to 28.4 on the left, thus noting right-sided asymmetry. In both figures, the percentage of the distance between the zygote points on both sides was 20.4 to 21.5 on the right and 18.7 to 19.3 on the left, ie weak right-sided asymmetry was noted in these figures. This indicator was 17.4 to 18.9 on the right in 3 figures, 21.2 to 22.7 on the left, ie left-sided asymmetry was observed, and in 1 figure no differences in the dimensions of the right and left sides were identified.

It wasn't possible to determine the degree of asymmetry in the photographs taken in this view, as there was not much difference in the indicators of the right and left sides in the side view.
