Anthropometric Analysis of the Growth Proportions of the Head and Face in Koreans

Abstract

The present study is to identify primarily the morphological characteristics in the growth proportion of the head and face for young Korean (8~24 years) and compare the magnitude of growth changes to the sexrelated differences. Total 1,255 were divided into 3 age groups: childhood (8~10 years), adolescence (14~16 years), and young adult (20~24 years). The anthropometric assessments were performed with 11 landmarks on the head and facial dimensions. The standardized frontal and lateral head and face photographs were analyzed the craniofacial growth proportions and morphological features for the comparison of both sexes.The noteworthy differences of anthropometric measurements between sexes with growing were noted on the lower head height (22.6%, 17.8%), midface height (22.0%, 19.6%), lower face height (23.5%, 14.7%), and face length (21.1%, 14.9%), face breadth (14.8%, 11.3%) of males and females, respectively. Whereas the upper head height (7.9%, 6.0%) and upper face height (4.2%, 0%, respectively) were less growing features. The most remarkable changes are the dimension of midface height and lower face height in both sexes. The present study could demonstrate a fundamental example to elucidate the sex-related dimensional differences for the analysis of the growth proportion of both sexes in Koreans.

Study of image sensors for enhanced face recognition at a distance in the Smart City context

“…3 for a graphical interpretation of Equation ( 3). An approximate size of 216 mm has been given to H R , since previous works stated that this value can be considered as the average head size for an adult person 59,60 . As a result, this approach allows us to synthetically expand the samples in a dataset to perform a study of which sensors behave better at certain distances from an object (face, in this case) recognition scheme.…”

Examining Facial Anthropometry for Appropriate Mask Making

“…Zyg ve Go-Go arası uzunlukları ölçmüşlerdir. Bu ölçümler kadın ve erkeklerde sırasıyla Zyg-Zyg 13,7-14,4 cm, Go-Go 11,6-12,1 cm olarak ölçmüşlerdir(13). Çalışmamız her ne kadar daha küçük bir popülasyonda yapılmış olsa da cinsiyetler arası fark ve zygionlar arası mesafe açısından benzer sonuçlar elde edildi.…”
