Gender and Age Estimation Using Face Images

چکیده

In this study, I present a real-time gender and age estimation approach that I developed for the course project of Artificial Neural Networks. For these tasks, I employed a local appearance-based representation using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), which has been shown to be very effective in realtime processing and robust against changes caused by light and facial expressions. Using these features, I trained support vector machine classifiers. Binary support vector machine classifier is used to discriminate between males and females. In case of age estimation, a two-step classifier is used. First, a support vector machine classifier is used to discriminate between youths and adults. Then, three separate support vector machine regression functions are used for youths, adults and for those that are close to the youth-adult decision border.

Age, Gender and Race Estimation from Unconstrained Face Images

Automatic estimation of demographic attributes (e.g., age, gender, and race) from a face image is a topic of growing interest with many potential applications. Most prior work on this topic has used face images acquired under constrained and cooperative scenarios. This paper addresses the more challenging problem of automatic age, gender, and race estimation from real-life face images (face ima...

Age-Related Bias in Age Estimation Based on Facial Images of Others

In this study, we hypothesized that the tendency toward an age estimation bias when judging age based on facial images was driven by relative comparison with one’s own age, similar to situations of face-to-face communication. Using facial images as stimuli, participants were asked to assess the ages of those in the images in relative terms (younger or older than the participants themselves). We...

Recognizing Age-Separated Face Images: Humans and Machines

Humans utilize facial appearance, gender, expression, aging pattern, and other ancillary information to recognize individuals. It is interesting to observe how humans perceive facial age. Analyzing these properties can help in understanding the phenomenon of facial aging and incorporating the findings can help in designing effective algorithms. Such a study has two components--facial age estima...
