چکیده

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 wavelet transformation. Our experimental results on UIUC-PAL database show that our proposed method works well.

Optimum Ensemble Classification for Fully Polarimetric SAR Data Using Global-Local Classification Approach

In this paper, a proposed ensemble classification for fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data using a global-local classification approach is presented. In the first step, to perform the global classification, the training feature space is divided into a specified number of clusters. In the next step to carry out the local classification over each of these clusters, which cont...

Fine Tuning Age-estimation with Global and Local Facial Features

This paper proposes an advanced age-estimation approach that combines global and local features derived from a facial image. Active Appearance Models (AAMs) technique is used to construct the global facial features, while local facial features are generated from Local Binary Pattern (LBP) encoding. Ageestimation is performed in a two-step method: coarse (initial) prediction followed by a refini...

Age Estimation Based on AAM and 2D-DCT Features of Facial Images

This paper proposes a novel age estimation method Global and Local feAture based Age estiMation (GLAAM) relying on global and local features of facial images. Global features are obtained with Active Appearance Models (AAM). Local features are extracted with regional 2D-DCT (2dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform) of normalized facial images. GLAAM consists of the following modules: face normal...
