Building an In-Browser 478-Point Facial Landmark & Symmetry Analyzer (Zero Cloud Uploads)

Most facial measurement and "rating" applications on the market today share two huge flaws:

1. They charge aggressive subscription fees.
2. They upload users' personal biometric selfie photos to centralized cloud servers.

I built FaceIQ as an open web application that executes 100% client-side in the browser.

How It Works Under the Hood

Using Google's MediaPipe 478-point landmark topology and WebAssembly/WebGL, the application computes:

• Bilateral Cranial Symmetry: Evaluates lateral deviation across 32 anatomical mirror pairs.
• Palpebral Canthal Tilt: Accurately measures inner-to-outer canthus inclination in degrees.
• Facial Thirds & FWHR: Bizygomatic cheekbone width to midface height proportions.
• Golden Ratio (Phi 1.618): Mathematical alignment against classical neoclassical cannons.
• PSL Scale Rating Calculator: Quantitative facial harmony scoring.

Because the entire inference model runs in local browser memory via WebAssembly, zero bytes of photographic data ever touch a remote server.

Would love to hear technical feedback and suggestions for additional craniofacial ratios to implement!
