Introduction to Age
Detection
Age detection estimates a person’s age from data. A computer
vision task to estimate a person’s age from facial images

Why is it important?
Useful in security, targeted marketing, access control, and social
media analytics.
Abstract
• Age detection from facial images is crucial for personalized services, security, and demographic analysis.
• This project uses a deep learning model integrated with OpenCV to predict human age based on facial features.
• A pre-trained CNN model is used to classify input images into various age groups.
• Evaluation is done using standard metrics and benchmark datasets.
Literature Review
• Previous Works:
• Levi and Hassner (2015): CNN for age and gender classification.
• Rothe et al. (2018): DEX model based on VGG-16 architecture.
• Challenges Identified:
• Age variation due to lighting, occlusion, makeup.
• Lack of balanced and annotated datasets.
• Datasets Used Historically:
• IMDB-WIKI, Adience, FG-NET
