, v  x" t/ d" m$ ]关于女性脸蛋谁比较漂亮，以后不用争的面红耳赤了，因为两位澳洲科学家发明一套电脑软件 可帮外貌评分，可以测量出每个女子脸蛋的漂亮程度，谁比较美，立见高下。他们的这项发明是统整模特儿、演艺人员以及全球各地二百多位脸型的外观和比例作为准绳，测量一个人的脸蛋是否符合漂亮的标准。  J. C% P9 I7 A5 m/ z! G

根据这套软件，测试美丽与否相当简单，只要将女子的照片输入，软件自然就会依一至十标准评出分数来。雪梨科技大学电脑工程师居内什和皮卡第相信这套软件在整形业中大有作为。他们表示：「这套软件的发明也以运用在娱乐圈、整形业、化妆品业和虚拟网络，」表示。他们期望这项发明能够对医学界提供协助和建议，避免一般人可能因为不满意自己长相而做出不理智的决定并伤害到外貌。皮卡第表示，他和居内什的发明强化电脑辨识人类脸孔以及心情能力，希望让电脑科技更贴近生活。2 b1 P0 m, _. ?5 D& H

Dr Piccardi said one use might be for plastic surgery patients who were unsure whether modifications suggested by their doctor would improve their attractiveness. While the software has been developed only to assess women, it could be adapted to rate men.
