Age Automation Estimation Based on A ICA Coefficient Sparse Description Algorithm
Automatic age estimation based on facial images is an important research trend of face recognition. Here we proposed an independent component analysis method based on winner-take-all(WTA)rule to realize the age estimation task. Firstly
applying the PCA method to reduce the dimensions of original training data; then
using the proposed WTA-ICA coefficient sparse description method to extract the feature.Finally
the experimental results on the FG-NET Aging database indicate that the proposed method can estimate peoples age based on the face images well.
