Face Age Progression
It is process of modifying an image of a person that showing his/her faces in order to predict how he/she will look like in future. To develop a computer based automatic face age progression system we need to consider how the shape of human faces changes with parallel to aging.
FaceAPS - Face Age Progression System
Face Age Progression can be done by manual drawing but in our system we computerize the process of age progression.
Face Age Progression Factors
Human faces undergo considerable amount of change with parallel to the natural aging and this changing pattern becomes more complex with the human variation of factors such as gender, population of origin, body size, weight, and idiosyncratic behavior. In the essence of developing a computer based age progression system we can consider about following factors of human aging such as craniofacial remodeling and soft-tissue degeneration, other major factors affecting appearance over age include weight pros, sun exposure, ancestry, sex, health, disease, drug use, diet, sleep deprivation, bio-mechanical factors, gravity, and hyper-dynamic facial expressions. So building a computer based automatic age progression system becomes more complex and challenging.
Current Systems
Currently there are many number of researches have been done and there are many researches ongoing addressing this problem using various kinds of methods and various algorithms. These researches are mainly done on European context, so our aim is to research whether is there any suitable methods and algorithms that can modified to use on Sri Lankan context. So our project idea is focused on finding a new algorithm and a method that can be used to develop a computer based face age progression system on Sri Lankan context.
