Abstract

Automated face and age recognition is becoming an important technology due to the huge amount of biometric transactions will be carried and processed daily by Authorization agencies. Now a days Estimation of human age is a very significant characteristic in terms of identity authentication. In order to assess one’s individual age, selection of features from the human face is significant and vital with the perspective of experimental accuracy. Some of the Real world Age estimation applications are Biometrics, Security management, 3D face construction and cosmetology. Statistical and regression based are the traditional and earlier techniques commonly used age estimation technique which works on results of interrelationship and correlation among the different values of age for face images. The current work is an enhancement of existing techniques used previously for feature extraction using Local binary patterns with regional features of 2D Wavelet transformation image and age estimation can be accomplished by using SVM Classifier.
