Method for facial age simulation based on age of each part and environmental factors, recording medium and device for performing the method

A method for facial age simulation, the method comprising:

• extracting, via a processor, respective shapes of facial parts of an input face image of a person;
• estimating, via the processor, respective effective ages of the facial parts;
• designating, via the processor, personal environmental factors of the person;
• transforming, via the processor, the estimated respective effective ages by applying a transformation model based on the designated personal environmental factors;
• transforming, via the processor, the respective shapes based on the transformed respective effective ages;
• reconstructing, via the processor, the facial parts based on the transformed respective shapes;
• composing, via the processor, an aged face image based on the reconstructed facial parts;
• designating, via the processor, other personal environmental factors of the person;
• repeating for the designated other personal environmental factors, via the processor, the transforming of the estimated respective effective ages, the transforming of the respective shapes, and the reconstructing of the facial parts, to compose another aged face image;
• and
• generating, via the processor, a comparison of the composed aged face image with the composed another aged face image,
• wherein the transformed respective effective ages are different from each other.
