Abstract

In this paper, a joint model is devised to simultaneously tackle the age invariant face recognition and age estimation. The face image is separated into two parts: the identity specific part and the age related part. Two dictionaries are introduced to encode the two parts onto two different subspaces. Label constraint terms are added to improve the discriminative capabilities of the two learned subspaces. The identity space can be used for face recognition and the age space can be used for age estimation. Extensive experiments are conducted on the FGNET dataset and MORPH dataset, illustrating a great improvement over the state-of-the-arts.
