  • Turks catalog portrait, AI-generated, lips in view

Catalog portraits for Turks are AI-generated adult subjects; the measurements on this page come from documented photographs of real people, not from these images.

Overall lip volume

n = 13 assessable

Combined lip volume from a frontal view. Independent ethnic-correlated dimension; West African and African-diaspora populations average higher native lip volume than European populations, with substantial individual variation.

ValueSharen
ThinMinimal lip volume; lips barely project from the perioral plane.8%1
ModerateAverage volume; lips clearly visible with modest projection.92%12

Vocabulary: Overall lip volume (lip_volume_qualitative)

Upper-to-lower lip volume ratio

n = 13 assessable

Relative volume of the upper lip compared to the lower lip in frontal view.

ValueSharen
Balanced (~1:1)Upper and lower lip of approximately equal volume.100%13

Vocabulary: Upper-to-lower lip volume ratio (mallucci_branford_lip_ratio)

Cupid's bow morphology

n = 13 assessable

Shape of the upper-lip vermilion border at midline (Cupid's bow).

ValueSharen
Soft / roundedGentle curves at the peaks; M-shape present but rounded.92%12
soft defined8%1

Vocabulary: Cupid's bow morphology (cupids_bow_qualitative)

Philtrum definition

n = 13 assessable

Shape and definition of the philtrum (the vertical groove between the nose and upper lip).

ValueSharen
Defined columnsClear philtral columns visible; well-demarcated central groove.54%7
SoftSubtle column definition.31%4
Smooth / minimalPhiltrum nearly flat; columns not distinct.15%2

Vocabulary: Philtrum definition (philtrum_qualitative)

Mouth width

n = 13 assessable

Width of the mouth (cheilion to cheilion) relative to the inter-iris distance.

ValueSharen
BalancedMouth width approximately equal to inter-iris distance (Farkas reference).92%12
WideMouth width substantially greater than inter-iris distance.8%1

Vocabulary: Mouth width (mouth_width_proportional)

Where these numbers come from

14 publicly documented portraits of notable Turks people were assessed by a vision model against the full 22-vocabulary schema, one value and one confidence per dimension. Values are what the photographs show, read by a model, not population measurements. Each table counts only portraits where the value could be assessed; covered, obscured and unclear portraits are reported separately.

Notable-people corpora skew older, so hair color over-represents gray and white, and image quality varies. Treat shares as a description of this sample. Mean model confidence for this family: 0.51.

The same rows are published as image_observations in the catalog dataset; see the methodology. A family page exists only when at least 10 portraits carry an assessable value.
