Abstract

In this paper, the human age automatically estimated via two-dimensional facial image analysis. The exact age estimation is often treated as a classification problem while it can be formulated as a regression problem. In our research, a classification and regression models are proposed. The two proposed models are evaluated using the same database images and the same features. Due to a big difference between the number of samples in each class or age group, the two proposed models used the complete and missing data in different experiments. Moreover, we compared age estimation errors when (1) Age estimation is performed without discrimination between males and females (gender unknown); (2) Age estimation is performed in males and females separately (gender known). Conclusions and results of these proposed models are shown by extensive experiments on the public available FG-NET database.
