System and method for analyzing features of a human face using one or more overlay facial grids

A system for analyzing the attractiveness of a human face, the system comprising:

• an image capture and processing module, comprising computer-executable code stored in non-volatile memory,
• an overlay retrieval and analysis module, comprising computer-executable code stored in non-volatile memory,
• a processor, and
• a display element,
• wherein said image capture and processing module, said overlay retrieval and analysis module, said processor, and said display element are operably connected and are configured to:
• receive image data associated with one or more images of the human face;
• process said one or more images of the human face in order to identify a plurality of facial features to be analyzed;
• generate and associate placement points for each identified facial feature;
• select one or more group of three or more placement points;
• generate one or more quadrilateral grid whose dimensions are defined by said placement points for each group of three or more placement points, wherein each grid comprises a plurality of horizontally or vertically neighboring quadrilaterals;
• determine a proportional ratio for one or more pair of neighboring quadrilaterals;
• determine the proximity of the fit of each determined proportional ratio to a pre-determined ratio configured into a module of the system;
• calculate an individual numerical score based on the determined proximity of the fit for each one or more pair of neighboring quadrilaterals;
• and
• calculate an overall numerical attractiveness rating score as the sum of individually calculated numerical rating scores.
