The Role of Color and Contrast in Facial Age Estimation

چکیده
Computer based methods for facial age estimation can be improved by incorporating experimental findings from human psychophysics. Moreover, the latter can be used in creating systems that are not necessarily more accurate in age estimation, but strongly resemble human age estimations. In this paper we investigate the perceptual hypothesis that contrast is a useful cue for estimating age from facial appearance. Using an extensive evaluation paradigm, we establish that using a perceptual color space improves computer’s age estimation, and more importantly, using contrast-enabled features results in estimations that are more correlated to human estimations.

متن کاملA new classification method based on pairwise SVM for facial age estimation
This paper presents a practical algorithm for facial age estimation from frontal face image. Facial age estimation generally comprises two key steps including age image representation and age estimation. The anthropometric model used in this study includes computation of eighteen craniofacial ratios and a new accurate skin wrinkles analysis in the first step and a pairwise binary support vector...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of Yellow vs. Blue Color Contrast Sensitivity pre and Post LASIK
Introduction: contrast sensitivity is one of the most important psychophysical tests that may be used for the evaluation of refractive state of eye and retinal image quality. Yellow vs. blue color contrast sensitivity may be more suitable in this regard. Materials and Methods: thirty myopic eyes were considered in this study. Yellow vs. blue color contrast sensitivity was evaluated under the sa...
متن کاملThe Combinational Use Of Knowledge-Based Methods and Morphological Image Processing in Color Image Face Detection
The human facial recognition is the base for all facial processing systems. In this work a basicmethod is presented for the reduction of detection time in fixed image with different color levels.The proposed method is the simplest approach in face spatial localization, since it doesn’trequire the dynamics of images and information of the color of skin in image background. Inaddition, to do face...
متن کاملFacial Contrast Is a Cross-Cultural Cue for Perceiving Age
Age is a fundamental social dimension and a youthful appearance is of importance for many individuals, perhaps because it is a relevant predictor of aspects of health, facial attractiveness and general well-being. We recently showed that facial contrast-the color and luminance difference between facial features and the surrounding skin-is age-related and a cue to age perception of Caucasian wom...
