Age estimation algorithm of facial images based on multi-label sorting.

Multi-label sorting learning has been successful in many fields. It can not only express the complex semantic information of learning objects, but also present good generalization ability in dealing with complex things. This paper proposes age estimation algorithm of facial images based on multi-label sorting. This estimation algorithm is for the lack of facial age dataset, and it changes the traditional multi-valued classification method, simplified the problem of tedious steps to estimate age and shortened the time for model training. A series of experiments on two age datasets shows that the algorithm has achieved very good results in evaluating indicators, and these indicators include MAE (mean absolute error), CS (cumulative score), and convergence rate. When compared with some classic algorithms of age estimation, the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm are verified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
