SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STATISTICAL MAPPING BETWEEN GENETIC INFORMATION AND FACIAL IMAGE DATA
First Claim
1. A method for statistical mapping between genetic information and facial image data, the method comprising:
- collecting a multiplicity of sets of genetic information and matching facial image data representing a multiplicity of individuals;
representing said genetic information of each of said multiplicity of individuals as a first multidimensional representation;
representing said facial image data of each of said multiplicity of individuals as a second multidimensional representation; and
inferring correlative, non-causal, statistical relationships between said first multidimensional representations and said second multidimensional representations.

Abstract
A method and system for statistical mapping between genetic information and facial image data including collecting a multiplicity of sets of genetic information and matching facial image data representing a multiplicity of individuals, representing the genetic information of each of the multiplicity of individuals as a first multidimensional representation, representing the facial image data of each of the multiplicity of individuals as a second multidimensional representation; and inferring correlative, non-causal, statistical relationships between the first multidimensional representations and the second multidimensional representations. A system and method for estimating the likelihood of donor-recipient transplant compatibility using facial images of potential donors, the method including inferring correlative, non-causal, statistical relationships, indicative of transplant compatibility, between multidimensional representations of facial image data of potential donors and a multidimensional representation of information relating to a potential recipient.

5. A method for generating a facial image based on genetic information, the method comprising:
-
providing results of statistical mapping between genetic information and facial image data including face shape and facial texture information produced by inferring correlative, non-causal, statistical relationships between first multidimensional representations of said genetic information and second multidimensional representations of said facial image data for a multiplicity of persons; applying said results of said statistical mapping to genetic information obtained from an individual not necessarily being an individual whose genetic information is used for inferring said statistical relationships, thereby to obtain facial image data including at least face shape information for said individual; and employing said facial image data including face shape and facial texture information to generate said facial image of said individual. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for selecting a facial image corresponding to an individual from facial images of a plurality of persons based on genetic information of said individual, the method comprising:
-
providing results of statistical mapping between genetic information and facial image data produced by inferring non-causal (correlative) statistical relationships between first multidimensional representations of said genetic information and second multidimensional representations of said facial image data for a multiplicity of individuals, not necessarily including said individual and said plurality of persons; and applying said results of said statistical mapping to genetic information obtained from said individual and to said facial images of said plurality of persons, thereby to select said facial image of said individual from among said facial images of said plurality of persons. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
