ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein: (1) overlay systems which define a face, in frontal and lateral views, which are comprised of mathematically inter-related pentagons and parts of those pentagons and which establish a reference system to analyze human faces for surgical, cosmetic, and identification purposes; and (2) a method of applying the overlay systems to human faces or facial images to analyze the form and proportion of faces and components of those faces (e.g., eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) for surgical, cosmetic, and identification purposes.
