Simple definition
Canthal tilt is the angle between your inner and outer eye corners. If the outer corner sits higher, it is often called positive tilt. If both corners are near level, it is neutral tilt. If the outer corner sits lower, it is negative tilt.
How it is measured
The model detects eye reference points, estimates each eye corner position, and computes an angle in degrees. It also checks left-right consistency, because symmetry affects how stable the result appears from photo to photo.
Why one photo can change the result
Eye-angle readings are sensitive to yaw, roll, camera height, and expression tension around the eyes. For better consistency, use a front-facing frame, level head posture, and even lighting, then compare multiple tests instead of trusting a single snapshot.
