Title	Predict Your Child: a System to Suggest the Facial Appearance of Children
Authors	Frowd, Charlie D.; Bruce, Vicki; Chang, Helen Y.; Plenderleith, Yvonne; McIntyre, Alex H.; Hancock, Peter J.B.
Abstract	We have developed a novel software program called ‘Predict Your Child’ that, given photographs of potential parent faces, generates plausible looking children. The parent photographs are imported into a PCA-based model of facial appearance to give a set of face parameters that can be mixed together to produce offspring faces. The program is intended for entertainment and has been used commercially, with customers emailing photographs of parents to be bred. In this paper, we describe the system, developed from an evolutionary facial composite system called EvoFIT, outline some of the problems encountered and present some performance data.
