Age estimation method and sex determination method

摘要

Disclosed are novel techniques for high-precision sex determination and age estimation using facial images. The disclosed age estimation method includes: a step in which facial image data of a subject is acquired; a step in which spatial frequency intensities are calculated from the acquired facial image data; and a step in which the estimated age of the subject is calculated by applying the calculated spatial frequency intensities obtained from the facial image data.

主权项

1. An age estimation method comprising:
capturing facial image data of the subject using a digital camera; calculating intensities of spatial frequencies of the facial image data of the subject using an intensity calculating unit, the calculated spatial frequencies belonging to a plurality of different spatial frequency bands; and calculating an estimated age of the subject from the calculated intensities of spatial frequencies using an age calculating unit that compares the calculated intensities of spatial frequencies with age correlation data stored in a storage unit showing a correlation between ages and intensities of spatial frequencies previously obtained from facial image data.
