Face Recognition across age has been a challenging and popular task in the field of Face Recognition. Although many researchers are contributing to the area, there’s a significant gap to fill in. Data collections and feature extraction are the most challenging tasks to be tackled in Age Invariant Face Recognition (AIFR). Feature extraction could be achieved using the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and for classification. But due to unavailability of large, paired datasets, opting for a Deep Neural Network architecture for this problem statement would not result in a good accuracy. Therefore, we propose a CNN-SVM architecture where CNN extracts important features from an image, which is then used by SVM for final classification.

Abstract


Face Recognition across age has been a challenging and popular task in the field of Face Recognition. Although many researchers are contributing to the area, there’s a significant gap to fill in. Data collections and feature extraction are the most challenging tasks to be tackled in Age Invariant Face Recognition (AIFR). Feature extraction could be achieved using the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and for classification. But due to unavailability of large, paired datasets, opting for a Deep Neural Network architecture for this problem statement would not result in a good accuracy. Therefore, we propose a CNN-SVM architecture where CNN extracts important features from an image, which is then used by SVM for final classification.
