Automatic Facial Aging/Rejuvenating Synthesis Method

Abstract

[[abstract]]At present, the synthesizing faces of different ages does not emphasize on feature alignment and rectification of twisted images. If these situations do happen, they might cause failure and inaccuracy on synthesizing images. In this paper, we propose a reversible human facial aging/rejuvenating synthesis system which is implemented by Active Shape Model (ASM) integrated with Log-Gabor Wavelet, which can be used to search for the dementia elderly. First, we use AdaBoost and ASM algorithm to extract the feature set of human face, and rectify them by the concept of facial geometric invariance. The invariant concepts are the distance between inner corners of both eyes and the distance between the nose and chin. Then, we find manually one target image which is similar to the test image from the database, and analyze age texture of this human image by Log-Gabor wavelet in order to retrieve decomposition maps. Finally, we can effectively simulate human facial images of people of different ages by controlling the number of decomposition map of images and objectively judge the results via the density of wrinkles.[[conferencetype]]國際[[conferencedate]]20121102~20121106[[iscallforpapers]]Y[[conferencelocation]]Kaohsiung, Taiwa
