His <EM>Chernoff Faces</EM> were especially effective because they related the data to facial features, something which we are used to differentiating between. Different data dimensions were mapped to different facial features, for example the face width, the level of the ears, the radius of the ears, the length or curvature of the mouth, the length of the nose, etc.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://kspark.kaist.ac.kr/Human%20Engineering.files/Chernoff/Chernoff%20Faces.htm"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD width="20%" align="center"><APPLET width="100" height="100" code="ChernoffFaceApplet.class"> <PARAM value="#FFFFFF" name="backgroundcolor" /> <PARAM value="#FF0000" name="foregroundcolor" /> <PARAM value="1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1" name="face" /> </APPLET> <BR />All 1. </TD></tr></table></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://kspark.kaist.ac.kr/Human%20Engineering.files/Chernoff/Chernoff%20Faces.htm">Here, the faces are described by 10 facial characteristic parameters: 1. head eccentricity, 2. eye eccentricity, 3. pupil size, 4. eyebrow slant, 5. nose size, 6. mouth shape, 7. eye spacing, 8. eye size, 9. mouth length, and 10. degree of mouth opening.
