ABSTRACT
Age progression is the process of creating images that suggest how a person may appear in a certain amount of time based on the effects of the aging process. Traditionally these images have been created manually by forensic artists who use both art and science to guide how representations appear, whether drawn or photo-manipulated. Automated age-progression seeks to use algorithmic methods to create accurate images of how the individual in a photo could appear after aging effects. It is still a fairly young area of research, but one promising technique suggested so far has been to use parametrically driven face models such as Active Appearance Models to modify the face appearance in an image based on a data-driven model of face aging. These can be successful but tend to suffer from reconstructed texture artifacts.

Shape-appearance-correlated active appearance model
Among the challenges faced by current active shape or appearance models, facial-feature localization in the wild, with occlusion in a novel face image, i.e. in a generic environment, is regarded as one of the most difficult computer-vision tasks. In ...
Age progression
Age progression is defined as esthetically re-rendering a face with natural aging or rejuvenating effects in any future age for an individual face. It has become an attracting topic in the field of computer vision field. Typically, a person's facial ...
Face recognition across pose using view based active appearance models (VBAAMs) on CMU multi-PIE dataset
ICVS'08: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Computer vision systemsIn this paper we address the challenge of performing face recognition of a probe set of non-frontal images by performing automatic pose correction using Active Appearance Models (AAMs) and matching against a set of enrollment gallery of frontal images. ...
