• Title: Relative Age Estimation Using Face Images
• Authors: Ran Sandhaus, Yosi Keller,
• Abstract summary: We employ a network that estimates age differences between an input image and reference images with known ages, thus refining the initial estimate. Our method explicitly models age-dependent facial variations using differential regression, yielding improved accuracy compared to conventional absolute age estimation. Our approach surpasses existing methods, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy on the MORPH II and CACD datasets.

• Abstract: This work introduces a novel deep-learning approach for estimating age from a single facial image by refining an initial age estimate. The refinement leverages a reference face database of individuals with similar ages and appearances. We employ a network that estimates age differences between an input image and reference images with known ages, thus refining the initial estimate. Our method explicitly models age-dependent facial variations using differential regression, yielding improved accuracy compared to conventional absolute age estimation. Additionally, we introduce an age augmentation scheme that iteratively refines initial age estimates by modeling their error distribution during training. This iterative approach further enhances the initial estimates. Our approach surpasses existing methods, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy on the MORPH II and CACD datasets. Furthermore, we examine the biases inherent in contemporary state-of-the-art age estimation techniques.

  We first formulate a simple standard baseline and build a much strong one by collecting the tricks in pre-training, data augmentation, model architecture, and so on. Compared with the standard baseline, the proposed one significantly decreases the estimation errors. We propose a two-stage training method named Long-tailed Age Estimation (LAE), which decouples the learning procedure into representation learning and classification.

  We propose a unified network structure that embeds a linear age estimator into a GAN-based model. The embedded age estimator is trained jointly with the encoder and decoder to estimate the age of a face image. The personalized target age embedding is synthesized by incorporating both personalized residual age embedding of the current age and exemplar-face aging basis of the target age.
