چکیده

Human face aging is irreversible process causing changes in human face characteristics such us hair whitening, muscles drop and wrinkles. Due to the importance of human face aging in biometrics systems, age estimation became an attractive area for researchers. This paper presents a novel method to estimate the age from face images, using binarized statistical image features (BSIF) and local binary patterns (LBP) histograms as features performed by support vector regression (SVR) and kernel ridge regression (KRR). We applied our method on FG-NET and PAL datasets. Our proposed method has shown superiority to that of the state-of-the-art methods when using the whole PAL database.

Comparative Study of Human Age Estimation with or without Preclassification of Gender and Facial Expression

Age estimation has many useful applications, such as age-based face classification, finding lost children, surveillance monitoring, and face recognition invariant to age progression. Among many factors affecting age estimation accuracy, gender and facial expression can have negative effects. In our research, the effects of gender and facial expression on age estimation using support vector regr...

Evaluation of Texture Descriptors for Automated Gender Estimation from Fingerprints

Gender is an important demographic attribute. In the context of biometrics, gender information can be used to index databases or enhance the recognition accuracy of primary biometric traits. A number of studies have demonstrated that gender can be automatically deduced from face images. However, few studies have explored the possibility of automatically estimating gender information from finger...

Facial Age Estimation based on Decision Level Fusion of AAM, LBP and Gabor Features

In this paper a new hierarchical age estimation method based on decision level fusion of global and local features is proposed. The shape and appearance information of human faces which are extracted with active appearance models (AAM) are used as global facial features. The local facial features are the wrinkle features extracted with Gabor filters and skin features extracted with local binary...

Human Age-group Estimation Based on Anfis Using the Hog and Lbp Features

In this paper, a new age-group estimation method is proposed based on fuzzy inference system. Using this method, the facial images could be classified in four groups with more accuracy for classification of marginal ages. The proposed algorithm is divided into 3 stages. At first stage, the images are preprocessed. Then, the image features are extracted using histograms of oriented gradients (HO...
