Except that you can't calculate an objective attractiveness score, even if there is statistical consensus among raters.

A much better project would be a piece of software that automatically enhances the aesthetic appeal of people in photos. Imagine looking great in any profile picture you upload on Facebook (or whatever), without you or your friends noticing the change (blaming it on distortions from image resizing).

Interesting idea. Seems to be what the OP has researched
