@striker1224 the program is called FaceMerger 2.3

Don't use FaceMerger 2.2 because it has some bugs.

but u used faces of your society right....

1/3 of the peoples living in this world are Chinese and other dense populated areas are like India.... and when you add there face average face will be quite different i guess.. but of course also adding American and African faces will be different.

What software do you use to merge faces?

I noticed that you orient the images to align the eyes. However, as seen especially with the initial images, the mouth is poorly aligned to the mouths of the other pictures.

What you could do is set it so that the image is scaled, horizontally and vertically, so that facial features align inside of a square, with the eyes in the upper corners and the mouth centered at the bottom. Then, keep track of the scaling values, extracting the average aspect ratio for each face. Then rescale the average.

There is an obvious 'freshmen bias'
