V hierarchy. Furthermore, the proposed scheme exploits age based discriminating information taken from two different cues (i.e. facial shape and texture) at the decision level which improves age estimation results. During the process of achieving our main objective of age estimation, this research work also contributes to two associated image processing/analysis areas: i) Face image modeling an...

in this paper, we present image based face sketch generation approach. The face image is represented as face caricature, portrait, face composite or face sketch etc. Face sketch is the simplest form of representing facial image with the help of small line segment drawings. There are several commercial application of a face image such as face recognition, detection, authentication and suspects i...

A facial recognition system is a computer application that deals with identification or verification of a person from digital image. To eliminate the error condition, the application of face recognition system is widely used. The altering facial appearance is one of the main challenging problems faced in face recognition algorithms. The proposed system consists of three stages namely; face dete...

Now days, face image of people is the interesting area of users. Most of the time images are in digital form. Thus, content-based face image retrieval is a technique which facilitates for many emerging applications. In this paper, automatically detected human attributes are used to enhance the performance of content based face image retrieval. Here, low level features of image are combined with...
