The invention provides an Asian human face age characteristic model generating method, and the method comprises the steps: S1), extracting a
wrinkle difference characteristic pattern of each human face image in a
training set, and obtaining an original
feature vector of each human face image; S2), determining the number of reduced dimensions of each original
feature vector, reducing the dimensions of the original
feature vector of each original
image based on a PCA method, and obtaining feature vectors after dimension reduction; S3), carrying out the training of the feature vectors based on a
support vector machine regression
algorithm after dimension reduction, and generating an age characteristic model. In addition, the invention also provides the age characteristic model generated through the above method, and an Asian human face
age estimation method. The age characteristic model carries out the extraction of the features based on a human face important
organ region and a human face
wrinkle region, and guarantees that the features comprise the sufficient information sensitive to the
age estimation. The
age estimation method can obtain a more precise age
estimation value, and meets the demands of an actual application scene.
