Computer Vision for predicting attractiveness

Most of us have looked in the mirror and wondered how good we look. But, it is often difficult to be objective while judging our own attractiveness, and we are often too embarrassed to ask for others' opinion. What if there was a computer program that could answer this question for you, without a human to look at your image? In this post, I will show you how we can use computer vision and machine learning to predict facial attractiveness of an individual from a single photograph. I will use OpenCV, Numpy and scikit-learn to develop a completely automated pipeline that takes a photograph of a person's face, and rates the photo on a scale of 1 to 5. The code is available at the bottom of this page.
