A Computer software can fairly and accurately estimate a person's age just by examining the person's face!!!
This age determining software is developed by the University of Illinois. This software has three parts/modules--
- face detection
- discriminative manifold learning and
- multiple linear regression.
This software can estimate ages from 1 year to 93 years. Its accuracy ranges from about 50% when it estimate ages to within 5 years and more than 80% when it estimats ages to within 10 years, said Thomas S. Huang, the William L. Everitt distinguished professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Illinois.
In addition to performing tasks such as security control and surveillance monitoring, age-estimation software also could be used for electronic customer relationship management or to target specific audiences with advertising, said Thomas S. Huang.
