Age estimation, subspace learning, label distribution learningAbstract
As it is an important and challenging problem in computer vision, face age estimation is typically cast as a classification or regression problem over a set of face samples with several ordinal age labels which have intrinsically cross-age correlations across adjacent age dimensions. As an outcome, these such correlations normally lead to age label ambiguities of face samples. Each face sample is associated with a latent label distribution that encodes the cross-age correlation information on label ambiguities. As we propose a totally data-driven distribution learning, approach to adaptively learn the latent label distributions. The proposed approach is capable of effectively discovering the intrinsic age distribution patterns for cross-age correlation analysis on the any prior assumptions on the forms of label distribution learning, this approach is able to flexible model of sample-specific context aware label distribution properties by solving a multi-task problem which jointly optimizes the tasks of age-label distribution learning and age prediction for individuals. Experimental outcomes demonstrate effectiveness of our approach.
