Drew Phipps Wrote:I compared, with my pixel counting software, the operation 40 pic with images of Plumlee and Sturgis. Mathematically the part of the face more closely matches Plumlee. However, when you allow for a 2 pixel error factor (since the pic is digitized you can't tell if the last pixel on each end of a string of pixels is totally filled, half filled, of just partly filled), mathematically at least, Sturgis cannot be eliminated.
The other thread contains this information.
While this sounds very 'scientific', you are not explaining what in the world you are measuring - which features/boundaries/distances or other features/all features/some features or other. How does this deal with things the eye and brain can 'see', such as hairline, eyebrow thickness and facial shape? I know professionals first rotate the heads, using 3D software, until they match in size and orientation; then they have special distances they measure - such as pupil to pupil, pupil to nose; nose to mouth and other such combinations. If someone has some spare money, they can pay such persons to do this analysis - but one needs to give at least one and as many as you want other photos of one to any number of other persons to match against. Some forensic police work has already been done for free by persons interested in covert operations, and they might be interested in this one too. The same software is available to others, but one has to know how to use it. I know I don't to any professional level.
