  2. Age Progression in Human faces • Facial aging effects are manifested in different forms in different age groups – shape & texture. • Both biological and non-biological factors contribute towards facial aging effects. • Face recognition systems : sensitive to illumination, pose variations, expressions etc. How does age progression affect the performance of face recognition systems ?

  3. Previous work on Age Progression Aging faces as ‘viscal – elastic’ events • Pittenger & Shaw(1975) : • Ho Kwon et al.(1994) : • Alice O’Toole(1997) : • Tidderman et al.(2001) : • Lanitis et al.(2002) : Age classification from face images – young / old Age perception using 3D head caricature Prototyping and transforming facial texture : Age perception Toward automatic age simulation on faces Face Verification across Age Progression - CVPR 2005

  4. Problem Statement : • Given a pair of age separated face images of an individual, what is the confidence measure in verifying the identity ? • How does age progression affect facial similarity ? Passport Image database • 465 pairs of passport images • Age range : 20 yrs to 70 yrs • Pair-wise age difference • 1 - 2 yrs : 165 • 3 - 4 yrs : 104 • 5 - 7 yrs : 81 • 8 - 9 yrs : 115 Face Verification across Age Progression - CVPR 2005

  5. PointFive faces • PointFive face : Better illuminated half of a frontal face (assuming bilateral symmetry of faces) • We represent frontal faces using PointFive faces (circumvents non-uniform illumination on faces) Mean Intensity Curve Optimal Mean Intensity Curve Face Verification across Age Progression - CVPR 2005

  6. PointFive faces : Illustration MIC of right-half MIC of left-half Optimal MIC A face recognition experiment (round-robin fashion) on the PIE dataset gave a 27 % rise in performance while using PointFive faces Face Verification across Age Progression - CVPR 2005

  8. Bayesian Age difference classifier : • Given a pair of age separated face images • Establish identity : intrapersonal / extrapersonal • Classify intrapersonal age separated samples based on age difference : 1-2 yrs , 3-4 yrs, 5-7 yrs, 8-9 yrs. We develop a Bayesian age-difference classifier based on a Probabilistic eigenspaces framework Face Verification across Age Progression - CVPR 2005

  9. Age difference classifier : Overview First stage of classification • Create an intra-personal and extra-personal space using differences of PointFive faces • Given a pair of face images, compute their difference image and estimate its likelihood from each class & classify the image pairs as intra-personal or extra-personal (MAP) Second stage of classification • Create age-difference based intra-personal spaces for each of four age-differences (1-2 yrs, 3-4 yrs, 5-7 yrs, 8-9 yrs). • Estimate likelihood of intra-personal difference images from each of four classes & classify each pair using a MAP rule.

  10. Age Difference Classifier (contd) Subspace Density Estimation : Intra Personal class Assume Gaussian distribution of Intra – personal image differences (Courtesy : Moghaddam 1997) Principal subspace and Its orthogonal complement for Gaussian density Marginal density in complementary space Marginal density in F space Face Verification across Age Progression - CVPR 2005

  11. Age Difference Classifier (contd) Subspace Density Estimation : Extra personal class Assume feature space F to be estimated by a parametric mixture model (mixture of Gaussian – use EM approach to estimate the parameters) Assume components of complementary space to be Gaussian (Courtesy : Moghaddam 1997) Face Verification across Age Progression - CVPR 2005

  12. Age Difference Classifier (contd) if intra-personal Age-difference based intra-personal class Face Verification across Age Progression - CVPR 2005

  13. Age based classification : Results • Using 200 pairs of PointFive faces we created an intra-personal space and an extra-personal space • Intra-personal difference images (465 pairs) and extra-personal difference images were computed from the passport images. • First Stage • 99 % of the intra-personal difference images and 83 % of the extra-personal difference images were classified correctly as intrapersonal and extrapersonal respectively • The misclassified intrapersonal pairs differed significantly due to glasses or due to facial hair or a combination of both.

  14. Age based classification : Results (contd) Second Stage 1-2 yrs 3-4 yrs 5-7yrs 8-9 yrs • Intra-personal image pairs with little variations due to facial expressions / glasses / facial hair were more often classified correctly to their age difference category. • Image pairs with significant variations in the above factors were incorrectly classified under 8-9 yrs category.

  15. Similarity Measure Similarity measure was computed as the correlation of principal components corresponding to 95 % of the variance Similarity scores between intra-personal images dropped as age-difference increased Face Verification across Age Progression - CVPR 2005

  16. Summary • A study of facial similarity across time shows that similarity between age separated face images decreases with age. • The lesser the variations due to facial hair, facial expressions and glasses on age separated face image, the better the success of the age-difference classifier. • With more training data, the proposed approach can be used in applications such as automated renewal of passport images.
