(1) To determine feature vector representations (geometric pattern parameters) that are effective in describing human nasal profiles, (2) to determine the number of code vectors (typical nasal patterns) that are mathematically optimized by applying the vector quantization method to each feature vector extracted for each subject, and (3) to determine the morphological traits of each code.
