Why are you different in the mirror from you in the phone? Which one is the real you?

I don't know if you have such an experience.

Dinner, group building ... group photo. After the photo was taken, they expected to enlarge the photo and find themselves, but they panicked and found themselves ugly! ! !

At this time, others said, "This is what you usually look like." This is tantamount to adding insult to injury.

However, I usually look in the mirror a hundred times better!

Why on earth is this? What is your real face value? Don't worry, read on and you will know.

The reason for this is the following：

1. Different imaging methods

The principle of mirror imaging is to use the reflection principle of light. I believe that friends who have studied physical optics in junior high school are no strangers. The reflection of light on a smooth interface becomes specular reflection, and vice versa. If there are both, it is a mixed reflection. Anyway, the reflection of the mirror is very direct. What you see is that you directly printed your face.

The imaging principle of the camera is based on photoelectric conversion: the lens is transmitted to the sensor after being illuminated, and the sensor completes photoelectric conversion after receiving the illumination, and then the signal is converted into an image through the image processor, so as to get a clear picture. After a series of transformations, the error is naturally greater and the effect is naturally not very good.

2. Frozen face effect and exposure effect

These two kinds are actually just people's psychological effects.

The frozen face effect means that when a person's picture in a video pauses while talking, the static image of this person is usually not as good as the dynamic image when the video is played, that is, the dynamic face is better than the static face. Because the dynamic face is an average face, it combines the advantages and disadvantages of the face: while the static face is fixed, it will only expose one side of the face and easily expose the shortcomings, thus making people feel less beautiful than the dynamic face.

Exposure effect means that in daily life, you will prefer what you are familiar with. For example, among new people, sometimes there are people with bad looks. At first, you will think that ta is ugly, but as the number of meetings increases, you will think that ta is not so ugly. For another example, the first time you see a girl, you may only give her 50 points, but after watching it several times, your evaluation score for her may reach about 80 points.

After the explanation, let's combine the arguments. You can always see yourself in the mirror, and you can make many facial expressions to make you feel attractive. Compared with the original camera, you are naturally inferior.

3. Lens distortion

You often see yourself in the original camera, such as crooked mouth, crooked eyes, high eyebrows, etc., but in fact these are normal phenomena, no one's face is completely symmetrical, and these are all caused by perennial bad habits, such as unilateral chewing, sleeping on your side, holding your cheeks with your hands, crossing your legs ... The original camera not only does not cover, but also magnifies. When you look in the mirror, your eyes will ignore these small flaws, which will neutralize the advantages and disadvantages of your face and make you relatively perfect. There is also the fact that taking photos really tests the technology and hires people to take good-looking photos. You've never heard of hiring someone to take your picture with a mirror.

To sum up, you are not completely real in the mirror, it is just a mirror image of you. The realistic left hand corresponds to the right hand in the mirror, and the realistic left face corresponds to the right face in the mirror. It's just closer to you than the original camera. Besides, in reality, who will look at your face at close range is probably a look, don't be too entangled in your own face value.

For a person, appearance is not everything. It is most important to keep an optimistic attitude towards life, good living habits and face every day with a smile.
