The New York Times published a story today on the "Beautification
Engine" which is software that automatically doctors a photo
to make the subject more 'beautiful'. Scientists in Israel created
an algorithm based on survey results that measures up the
original face and doctors it so it becomes closer to an idea
version of it. The science of beauty and perceived beauty is
becoming a much researched topic. These findings were
posted for Siggraph which is an annual conference on
results from testing out the software.
