Automated Perceptually-Motivated Assessment of Photographic Consistency in Paired Clinical Photographs: Pipeline Development and Internal Evaluation
Purpose: Paired pre- and post-operative photographs are the standard unit of evidence for plastic surgical outcomes, yet no objective metric verifies whether two images of the same patient were captured under conditions consistent for comparison. Approach: We developed a perceptually motivated pipeline that analyzes pre/post pairs across thirteen calibrated sub-metrics, partitioned by unsupervised correlation-structure analysis into five data-driven clusters (photometric, texture / sharpness, pose, illumination direction, and pitch), averaged within each cluster and combined across clusters by a weighted sum into a single consistency score. Each sub-metric is calibrated so that its median...
