• Abstract: Age estimation technology is a part of facial recognition and has been applied to identity authentication. This technology achieves the development and application of a juvenile anti-addiction system by authenticating users in the game. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Transformer algorithms are widely used in this application scenario. However, these two models cannot flexibly extract and model features of faces with irregular shapes, and they are ineffective in capturing key information. Furthermore, the above methods will contain a lot of background information while extracting features, which will interfere with the model. In consequence, it is easy to extract redundant information from images. In this paper, a new modeling idea is proposed to solve this problem, which can flexibly model irregular objects. The Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) is used to extract features from irregular face images effectively, and multi-head attention mechanisms are added to avoid redundant features and capture key region information in the image. This model can effectively improve the accuracy of age estimation and reduce the MAE error value to about 3.64, which is better than the effect of today's age estimation model, to improve the accuracy of face recognition and identity authentication.

  We tackle the challenge of face recognition in the wild, where images often suffer from low quality and real-world distortions. Traditional approaches-either training models directly on degraded images or their enhanced counterparts using face restoration techniques-have proven ineffective. We propose an effective adapter for augmenting existing face recognition models trained on high-quality facial datasets.
