An apparent age estimation system using the evolutionary algorighm

The age is one of important information in our living. If the age estimation that uses face image by computer becomes possible, it is thought that the age estimation assumes an important role in various scenes. In this paper, we propose an age estimation by using the supervised SOM. Further, the important features for the age estimation are selected by the GA.
