Researchers have created a "beauty machine" they say can turn a woman’s photo into the likeness of a cover model with the push of a button. The goal is not just to toy with pictures. Sure, the new computer software could help editors distort magazine cover photos even more than they already do. But it could also guide plastic surgeons (整形医师) in efforts to achieve some perceived level of perfection in a patient. Or the software might even be incorporated into future digital cameras to make us all appear gorgeous, the researchers suggest.
Attractiveness--for men or women--can be objectified by a computer and boiled down to a function of mathematical distances or ratios, Cohen-Or said, admitting that the work is likely to be controversial. "Beauty can be quantified by mathematical measurements and ratios. It can be defined as average distances between features, which a majority of people agree are the most beautiful," he said. "I don’t claim to know much about beauty. For us, every picture in this research project is just a collection of numbers."
Cohen-Or and colleagues asked 68 Israeli and German men and women, ages 25 to 40, to rank the beauty of 93 different men’s and women’s faces on a scale of 1 to 7. The scores were entered into a database and correlated to 250 different measurements and facial features, such as ratios of the nose, chin and distance from ears to eyes. From this, they created an algorithm of "desirable elements of attractiveness" that then spits out the new you.
The beauty machine is more subtle than a typical Photoshop makeover. The machine does not seem to work so well on celebrities, however. "We’ve run the faces of people like Brigitte Bardot and Woody Allen through the machine and most people are very unhappy with the results," Cohen-Or said. "But in unfamiliar faces, most would agree the output is better."
选项
A、It can be used by any person who wants herself/himself to be beautiful.
B、It can just help editors make more beautiful pictures.
C、It can lead plastic surgeons achieve a better result in a patient.
D、It can be used in digital camera to make us more beautiful now.
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据文章第一段,研究人员创造出了一个“美容机器”,它可以使照片上的人变得更美丽,但无法让人本身变得更美丽,由此排除A;这种软件不仅可以帮助编辑修改出更漂亮的照片,还可以指导整形师为患者达到更完美的效果,故排除B,选C;如果这种软件在将来(不是现在)用在数码相机上,那就更完美了,排除D。
