Abstract:

BACKGROUND: TW3 method cannot be applied for age determination of adults. While the other reported age evaluating methods usually require expensive medical equipments and the processing of these methods is complex, even involving extraction of tissues and organs.
OBJECTIVE: Based on the fact that skin texture implies age information, to develop a new method to evaluate adult age by human skin image.
METHODS: Some advanced medical image processing technologies were used in the age evaluating system based on human skin image to extract quantization parameters.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The age evaluating system based on human skin images can evaluate adult age, which does not detect the age using skeleton in conventional TW3 age evaluating system (for children) but using skin. Therefore, this system has a wide range age spectrum.
