Abstract:
Automated face recognition is a popular area of research due to its wide applicability. However, there are several challenges which obscure performance of such systems. These include pose, lightning, facial expressions, hair and accessories. Recently there is another aspect i.e. ‘Age invariance’, which is attracting researchers and developers. The main objective of this project is to build a desktop application which can detect same face across different age groups. By applying image analysis and recognition techniques on various facial features i.e. (nose, eyes, mouth etc.), we have achieved considerable recognition results. Training was done on a database of 1600 images is used consisting of celebrity images across various age groups.
