Anthropometrics Today
Client: Ina Pruegel <ip331@cam.ac.uk>
In the 1880s students in Cambridge had their head measured to test for correlations between head size and degree class (https://goo.gl/Tbfoww). To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, a major public exhibition will reconstruct this experience. You will use computer vision to measure visitors' profiles, matching against archive records of thousands of ex-students to identify a (possibly famous) historical twin, and then render a simulation of a new "handwritten" record card that can be accessed online to compare your future grades to theirs.
