A Simple Face Aging/Reverse-Aging Synthesis Method Using Log-Gabor Wavelet
نویسندگان
چکیده
A face aging/reverse-aging synthesis method based on face detection and Log-Gabor wavelet is proposed. Source images are first captured by the AdaBoost face detection algorithm and then individually normalized. A reference image from the target age group that closely resembles the test subject’s face is then selected. Because the Log-Gabor wavelet is characterized by a broader bandwidth and takes less time to search a wide range of spectral information then the Gabor wavelet, the Log-Gabor wavelet method is used to determine the aged skin surface topography and the decomposition map is obtained. By adjusting the number of details to be extracted from the decomposition map, we can effectively synthesize facial images for different age groups. Experimental results are verified with wrinkle density estimation.

Automatic Facial Aging/Rejuvenating Synthesis Method
At present, the synthesizing faces of different ages does not emphasize on feature alignment and rectification of twisted images. If these situations do happen, they might cause failure and inaccuracy on synthesizing images. In this paper, we propose a reversible human facial aging/rejuvenating synthesis system which is implemented by Active Shape Model (ASM) integrated with Log-Gabor Wavelet, ...
متن کاملRobust Face Recognition using Local Illumination Normalization and Discriminant Feature Point Selection
Face recognition systems must be robust to the variation of various factors such as facial expression, illumination, head pose and aging. Especially, the robustness against illumination variation is one of the most important problems to be solved for the practical use of face recognition systems. Gabor wavelet is widely used in face detection and recognition because it gives the possibility to ...
متن کاملGabor and Log-Gabor Wavelet for Face Recognition
In practice Gabor wavelet is often applied to extract relevant features from a facial image. This wavelet is constructed using filters of multiple scales and orientations. Based on Gabor’s theory of communication, two methods are proposed to acquire initial features from 2D images that are Gabor wavelet and Log-Gabor wavelet. Theoretically the main difference between these two wavelets is Log-G...

In this article we propose a novel face recognition method based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Log-Gabor filters. The main advantages of the proposed method are its simple implementation, training, and very high recognition accuracy. For recognition experiments we used 5151 face images of 1311 persons from different sets of the FERET and AR databases that allow to analyze how recogn...
متن کاملEnsemble of Global and Local Features for Face Age Estimation
Automatic face age estimation is a challenging task due to its complexity owing to genetic difference, behavior and environmental factors, and also the dynamics of facial aging between different individuals. In this paper, we propose a feature fusion method to estimate the face age via SVR, which ensembles global feature from Active Appearance Model (AAM) and the local feature from Gabor wavele...
