The invention discloses a face age bracket recognition method, and the method comprises the steps: (a), obtaining the face features of all face images in a training sample set; (b), carrying out the pre-training of a multilayer stack-type self-coding model; (c), carrying out the coding of the face features of all face images, and obtaining the age bracket features of all face images; (d), carryingout the clustering of the age bracket features of all face images, and obtaining a preset number of clustering centers; (e), calculating the membership degree of the age bracket features of all faceimages to all clustering degrees, and adjusting the network parameters of the multilayer stack-type self-coding model, so as to optimize the membership degree; (f), repeatedly carrying out the steps (c)-(e) till a preset condition is met; (g), carrying out the coding of a to-be-processed face image, and obtaining the age bracket features of the to-be-processed face image; (h), carrying out the agebracket recognition of the to-be-processed face image, and obtaining the age bracket type of the to-be-processed face image. The invention also provides a face age bracket recognition device, a computer device, and a readable storage medium. The method can achieve the quick and efficient recognition of a face age bracket.
