Midface ratio

The distance from the pupil line down to the mouth, expressed against the distance between the pupils.

Also called midface proportion, midface compactness.

Reference range

None.

We have not validated a population reference interval for this photographic method. Published anatomical measurements do not automatically validate mesh-based estimates.

How we calculate it

We take the midpoint of the two pupil landmarks, measure straight down to the centre of the mouth, and divide by interpupillary distance so the result does not depend on image size.

What moves the number

Camera height and head pitch, strongly. Looking slightly up or down changes this number more than it changes most of the others.

What it cannot tell you

We show this one without a band. It is a real and reproducible measurement of a photograph, but we could not find a published population range for it that we were willing to print, so we do not pretend to have one.

References

None. We have not found a published population range for this measurement, so there is nothing here to cite. We would rather show an empty list than a decorative one.
