Age estimation is a technique for predicting human ages from digital facial images, which analyzes a persons face image and estimates his/her age based on the year measure. Nowadays, intelligent age estimation and age synthesis have become particularly prevalent research topics in computer vision and face verification systems. Age synthesis is defined to render a facial image aesthetically with rejuvenating and natural aging effects on the persons face. Age estimation is defined to label a facial image automatically with the age group (year range) or the exact age (year) of the persons face. In this case study, we overview the existing models, popular techniques, system performances, and technical challenges related to the facial image-based age synthesis and estimation topics. The main goal of this review is to provide an easy understanding and promising future directions with systematic discussions.

We address the problem of single photo age progression and regression-the prediction of how a person might look in the future, or how they looked in the past. Most existing aging methods are limited to changing the texture, overlooking transformation
s in head shape that occur during the human aging and growth process. This limits the applicability of previous methods to aging of adults to slightly older adults, and application of those methods to photos of children does not produce quality results. We propose a novel multi-domain image-to-image generative adversarial network architecture, whose learned latent space models a continuous bi-directional aging process. The network is trained on the FFHQ dataset, which we labeled for ages, gender, and semantic segmentation. Fixed age classes are used as anchors to approximate continuous age transformation. Our framework can predict a full head portrait for ages 0-70 from a single photo, modifying both texture and shape of the head. We demonstrate results on a wide variety of photos and datasets, and show significant improvement over the state of the art.
Depth information is important for autonomous systems to perceive environments and estimate their own state. Traditional depth estimation methods, like structure from motion and stereo vision matching, are built on feature correspondences of multiple
viewpoints. Meanwhile, the predicted depth maps are sparse. Inferring depth information from a single image (monocular depth estimation) is an ill-posed problem. With the rapid development of deep neural networks, monocular depth estimation based on deep learning has been widely studied recently and achieved promising performance in accuracy. Meanwhile, dense depth maps are estimated from single images by deep neural networks in an end-to-end manner. In order to improve the accuracy of depth estimation, different kinds of network frameworks, loss functions and training strategies are proposed subsequently. Therefore, we survey the current monocular depth estimation methods based on deep learning in this review. Initially, we conclude several widely used datasets and evaluation indicators in deep learning-based depth estimation. Furthermore, we review some representative existing methods according to different training manners: supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised. Finally, we discuss the challenges and provide some ideas for future researches in monocular depth estimation.
Machine-learning-based age estimation has received lots of attention. Traditional age estimation mechanism focuses estimation age error, but ignores that there is a deviation between the estimated age and real age due to disease. Pathological age est
imation mechanism the author proposed before introduces age deviation to solve the above problem and improves classification capability of the estimated age significantly. However,it does not consider the age estimation error of the normal control (NC) group and results in a larger error between the estimated age and real age of NC group. Therefore, an integrated age estimation mechanism based on Decision-Level fusion of error and deviation orientation model is proposed to solve the problem.Firstly, the traditional age estimation and pathological age estimation mechanisms are weighted together.Secondly, their optimal weights are obtained by minimizing mean absolute error (MAE) between the estimated age and real age of normal people. In the experimental section, several representative age-related datasets are used for verification of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed age estimation mechanism achieves a good tradeoff effect of age estimation. It not only improves the classification ability of the estimated age, but also reduces the age estimation error of the NC group. In general, the proposed age estimation mechanism is effective. Additionally, the mechanism is a framework mechanism that can be used to construct different specific age estimation algorithms, contributing to relevant research.
Human face aging is irreversible process causing changes in human face characteristics such us hair whitening, muscles drop and wrinkles. Due to the importance of human face aging in biometrics systems, age estimation became an attractive area for re
searchers. This paper presents a novel method to estimate the age from face images, using binarized statistical image features (BSIF) and local binary patterns (LBP)histograms as features performed by support vector regression (SVR) and kernel ridge regression (KRR). We applied our method on FG-NET and PAL datasets. Our proposed method has shown superiority to that of the state-of-the-art methods when using the whole PAL database.
Increased interest of scientists, producers and consumers in sheep identification has been stimulated by the dramatic increase in population and the urge to increase productivity. The world population is expected to exceed 9.6 million in 2050. For th
is reason, awareness is raised towards the necessity of effective livestock production. Sheep is considered as one of the main of food resources. Most of the research now is directed towards developing real time applications that facilitate sheep identification for breed management and gathering related information like weight and age. Weight and age are key matrices in assessing the effectiveness of production. For this reason, visual analysis proved recently its significant success over other approaches. Visual analysis techniques need enough images for testing and study completion. For this reason, collecting sheep images database is a vital step to fulfill such objective. We provide here datasets for testing and comparing such algorithms which are under development. Our collected dataset consists of 416 color images for different features of sheep in different postures. Images were collected fifty two sheep at a range of year from three months to six years. For each sheep, two images were captured for both sides of the body, two images for both sides of the face, one image from the top view, one image for the hip and one image for the teeth. The collected images cover different illumination, quality levels and angle of rotation. The allocated data set can be used to test sheep identification, weigh estimation, and age detection algorithms. Such algorithms are crucial for disease management, animal assessment and ownership.
