CHAPTER 5 Age Estimation from Face Images using Deep Learning

A person’s age has always been an important attribute of identity. Equally, age also has been an important factor for social interaction. The human face and the physical attributes serve as important elements that facilitate the prediction of a person’s age. Thus, age estimation from the face by numerical analysis finds many potential applications such as the development of intelligent human-machine interfaces and improvement of safety and protection in various sectors such as transport, security, and medicine. In this chapter, we discuss how computer-based age estimation can be performed. More specifically, we look into how deep learning-based age estimation from facial images of ...
