Abstract

We as human beings can estimate the age of a person based on his facial features but there are situations where there is a need for the computers to determine the age of a person based on the picture or photograph. Here comes the situation to teach a machine to determine the age group of a person with his picture. This is applicable in the fields like determining the age of a criminal with his picture or determining the age of a patient when he has undergone an accident and many other fields. To address this problem the paper proposed a technique of finding the age with Rank Based Edge Texture Unit (RETU). The uniqueness of this method is that it divides the age group into 7 classes i.e. the age groups are 1-10, 11-20, 21-30,31-0,41-50,51-60,>60 . With this method, the results cope up to 97.16% and to slightly increase the efficiency the present paper proposes to add Fuzzy Texton features.
