using multiple losses for accurate facial age estimation
Yi Zhou, Heikki Huttunen, Tapio Elomaa
Age estimation is an essential challenge in computer vision. With the advances of convolutional neural networks, the performance of age estimation has been dramatically improved. Existing approaches usually treat age estimation as a classification problem. However, the age labels are ambiguous, thus make the classification task difficult. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective approach for age estimation, which improves the performance compared to classification-based methods. The method combines four classification losses and one regression loss representing different class granularities together, and we name it as Age-Granularity-Net. We validate the Age-Granularity-Net framework on the CVPR Chalearn 2016 dataset, and extensive experiments show that the proposed approach can reduce the prediction error compared to any individual loss.
