Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been applied to age-related research as the
core framework. Although faces are composed of numerous facial attributes, most works with
CNNs still consider a face as a typical object and do not pay enough attention to facial
regions that carry age-specific feature for this particular task. In this paper, we propose a
novel CNN architecture called Fusion Network (Fusion-Net) to tackle the age estimation
problem. Apart from the whole face image, the FusionNet successively takes several age …
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been applied to age-related research as the core framework. Although faces are composed of numerous facial attributes, most works with CNNs still consider a face as a typical object and do not pay enough attention to facial regions that carry age-specific feature for this particular task. In this paper, we propose a novel CNN architecture called Fusion Network (Fusion-Net) to tackle the age estimation problem. Apart from the whole face image, the FusionNet successively takes several age-specific facial patches as part of the input to emphasize the age-specific features. Through experiments, we show that the FusionNet significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art models on the MORPH II benchmark.
