In this paper, a deep convolutional neural network with five convolutional layers and three fully-connected layers is presented to estimate the ages of individuals based on images. The model is in its entirety trained from scratch, where a combination of three different datasets is used as training data. These datasets are the APPA dataset, UTK dataset, and the IMDB dataset. The images were preprocessed using a proprietary face-recognition software. Our model is evaluated on both a held-out test set, and on the Adience benchmark. On the test set, our model achieves a categorical accuracy of 52%. On the Adience benchmark, our model proves inferior compared with other leading models, with an exact accuray of 30%, and an one-off accuracy of 46%. Furthermore, a script was created, allowing users to estimate their age directly using their web camera. The script, alongside all other code, is located in our GitHub repository: AgeNet.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.06746v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2105.06746v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"facial-age-estimation-using-convolutional","repo_url":"https://github.com/christianbv/AgeNet","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"age-estimation","task_name":"Age Estimation"},{"task_slug":"face-recognition","task_name":"Face Recognition"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
