Recently, the automation of the age estimation technique is hoped for in various fields. Therefore, we propose an apparent-age estimation system using empirical mode decomposition (EMD). Conventional study reported that the time-frequency features are important for age estimation. However, these cannot necessarily extract the time-frequency feature in detail, because the classical technique that have a relationship of trade-off between the time resolution and the frequency resolution are used. On the other hand, the EMD is the novel time-frequency analysis technique that do not have the relationship of trade-off between the time resolution and the frequency resolution. The EMD gives a time-frequency analysis decomposing a signal into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). The IMF together with their Hilbert transforms are called the Hilbert–Huang spectrum, which leads to instantaneous frequency and amplitude. We use these features effectively for extracting human's age perception. We estimate the age by a neural network that learns pairs of face image and the Hilbert–Huang spectrum. Furthermore, we compress the data for neural network by using the simple principal component analysis (SPCA). In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed method, computer simulations are done by the actual human data.

Age estimation is a complex issue of multiclassification or regression. To address the problems of uneven distribution of age database and ignorance of ordinal information, this paper shows a hierarchic age estimation system, comprising age group and specific age estimation. In our system, two novel classifiers, sequence k-nearest neighbor (SKNN) and ranking-KNN, are introduced to predict age group and value, respectively. Notably, ranking-KNN utilizes the ordinal information between samples in estimation process rather than regards samples as separate individuals. Tested on FG-NET database, our system achieves 4.97 evaluated by MAE (mean absolute error) for age estimation.
