The application provides a fine-grained face
age estimation method based on horizontal
pyramid matching, and relates to the technical field of image classification. The method is used for face images in different backgrounds. Firstly, the position of the face in the image is detected by using a
face detection algorithm. Then, the face image is input into a residual
network model Resnet50 to obtain an age feature map. The age feature map is horizontally divided into different
pyramid scales to obtain multiple feature slices. Finally, global average
pooling and global maximum
pooling are respectively performed on each feature slice to obtain the overall age feature and the local age feature of the face, and the face
age estimation is completed. The method solves the combination problem of the global feature and the local fine-grained feature of the face age, and realizes the extraction of the overall age feature and the local most recognizable fine-grained feature of the face.
