Age invariant face recognition using Frangi2D binary pattern

The field of computer vision is devoted to discovering algorithms, data representations and computer architectures that embody the principles underlying visual capabilities. Computer vision is an interdisciplinary field that deals with how computers can be made for gaining high level understanding from digital images or videos. While very promising result has been shown on face recognition related problems, age invariant face recognition still relics a challenge. Facial appearance of a human varies over time, which results in substantial intra-class variations. In order to address this problem, we propose Frangi2D method for normalization, Linear Binary pattern (LBP) for feature extraction and Sparse Representation Classifier (SRC). Extensive results on a well-known public domain face aging dataset: MORPH. The experimental results show the superiority of our proposed method in age invariant face recognition.
