Method and device for age estimation

Abstract

Provided in embodiments of the present application are a method and device for age estimation. The method comprises: performing gender training with respect to a gender model on the basis of facial image samples so as to allow the gender model to converge, where the gender model comprises at least two convolution layers; performing age training with respect to an age model on the basis of the facial samples so as to allow the age model to converge, where the age model comprises the at least two convolution layers, the converged age model comprises the weights of the at least two convolution layers, and the weights of the at least two convolution layers that the converged gender model comprises; and performing age estimation with respect to an inputted facial image on the basis of the converged age model. The technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application eliminates the problem of inaccurate age estimation as a result of gender differences of facial images, thus increasing the accuracy of age estimation.
