Abstract

Age estimation has gained enormous interest among researchers due to the excessive demand in day-to-day application. There are several types of age estimation methods such as estimation on gait and facial images. In this thesis, two approaches, namely Two-Step implementation and Score-Level implementation are proposed to take the advantage of the Active Appearance Model in extracting age-related features. The Appearance Feature Model (AFM) is utilised to extract the useful information for facial age estimation. Specifically, Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) and Opponent-Color Local Binary Pattern (CLBP) are integrated with AAM for these proposed implementations. In Two-Step implementation, Histogram based Active Appearance Model (HAAM) and Opponent-Color LBP based Active Appearance Model (CAAM) are presented. HAAM is a process of extracting the facial feature with AAM and pass to HOG to enhance the features. On the other hand, CAAM is the process of extracting the facial feature with AAM and pass to CLBP to get the color information of facial feature. In Score-Level implementation, H+AAM and C+AAM are introduced.
