Outline of Final Research Achievements

Average faces are structurally simple and visually straightforward representations of the facial characteristics of given sets of faces and are widely used in face processing research.This research addressed the question of how many faces should be used in morphing so the morphed average face may be seen as a reasonable representation of its population.Concretely, this study was investigated from point of view of both engineering and cognitive psychology. The purpose of this project was to make guidelines of average faces that how many faces are necessary for an average face to be a valid representation of its population. Additionally, in this project implemented the synthesis system of average faces to work on different platform. And facial picture for making average face was collected 200 people more.
