The human face especially the facial vertical distribution possesses some important information which strongly correlates with the stature. The vertical proportions keep up relative constancy during the human growth. Only a few facial features such as the eyes, the lip and the chin are necessary to extract. The metric stature is estimated according to the statistical measurement sets and the facial vertical golden proportion. The estimated stature is tested with some individuals with only a single facial image.
