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

Mandibular angle (gonial angle)
n = 57 assessableSharpness of the gonial angle.

Where these numbers come from
57 publicly documented portraits of notable Uzbeks people were assessed by a vision model against the full 22-vocabulary schema, one value 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.
These rows are not yet in the published catalog dataset, which currently carries the earlier single-row analysis; see the methodology. A family page exists only when at least 10 portraits carry an assessable value.
