Title
What does computer vision say about face reading?
Abstract
Face reading is an ancient Chinese practice that assesses a person's personality traits by applying a set of rules on facial features. In this paper, we take an image processing approach to validate these face reading rules. We collected facial features and personality traits from 54 human subjects, analyzed their correlation, and found only weak correlations between the facial features and personality traits. We also attempted to discover new, more complex, face reading rules based on the data we collected, but we found no new rules with significant correlation. In short, we found no evidence that supports this ancient Chinese practice.
