When compared with other sources of variation in face images (e.g. variation due to changes in pose and expression), appearance variation due to ageing displays some unique characteristics. For example ageing variation is specific to a given individual, it occurs slowly and it is affected significantly by other factors, such as the health, gender and the lifestyle of the individual. In this paper we describe how the effects of ageing on facial appearance can be explained using a parameterized statistical model. We present experimental results to show that reasonably accurate estimates of age can be made for unseen images. We also show that we can improve our results significantly by taking into account the fact that different individuals age in different ways and by considering the effect of lifestyle. We also demonstrate how the proposed framework can be used for simulating ageing effects on new face images, in order to predict how an individual might look like in the future, or how he/she used to look in the past. Experimental and visual results on simulation of age effects are presented. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/29345 | DOI: | 10.1109/ICCV.1999.791208 | Rights: | © Copyright IEEE | Type: | Conference Papers | Affiliation : | Cyprus College The University of Manchester |
