Human Face >> General Information
Continuing from Post No. 5 : Study of Human Face : Part I
Most important virtue that separated man from other animals is curiosity. Man is curious to know everything about universe and wants to reveal the grandness of everything in the universe, right from dust upto stardust. He prevailed through countless endeavors. But, from millions of years till date man had and will strive for only one goal. i.e. "How to Make life easier!".
While interacting with surrounding man started observing behavior of each thing. In this process even a subtle usual behavior sparked wonder that adjured to perceive the reason behind it.
Still there are myriad things that wonder us and one of them is "Human Face".
At a very broad level, two cognitive approaches are art and science.
To understand human face requires incredible artistic and scientific knowledge and much more. The ultimate goal is to understand and explain, describe, categorize, reproduce human face.
Above table explains various streams from Art, Science and other activities which has documented enormous material on human face. After gathering the literature from each field, next natural step is to categorize and keep them connected with relevant rational liaisons for further collaboration. I strongly believe that in the absence of these liaisons knowledge-bases soon become effete information bloats.
Please note the taxonomy string at top in this post. That's enough for now.
Thx for reading. Keep Sharing and give your comments on the blog.
Let every being be free from delusion and ignorance and face the truth.

Art is subjective, based on emotions and synthesis of thoughts whereas science is rational, objective and analysis of thinking. Art deals with aesthetic pleasure without utilization value on the other hand science finds purpose in every action. Human face study was initiated by artists and then scientific analysis started in the renaissance. In 18th century with the revolutionary development in science emerged many diverse streams. There is immense information on human face scattered in different pockets of these new streams.
Taxonomy is identification and documentation of every distinct component in diversity. At initial glance you may confront few confusing and ambiguous terms. There are many such terminologies used while stating theories about human face. For example: facial modeling, facial simulation, facial detection, facial identification, facial recognition, facial reconstruction, craniofacial reconstruction. Please bear with me, in upcoming posts I will discuss various topics and things will sort out and these terminologies will start making sense. But for now lets check the taxonomy of literature on human face.
