Facial recognition technology needs to know your age

Computerized face recognition is seen by many analysts as the optimal means to prevent unauthorized access to computer systems. Facial recognition also has other applications, like improving social networks and the curating of photographs for news media. To be efficient systems need to enable a computer to estimate with precision a person's age based on the analysis of their face. The new advancement comes from the Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, at the Shri Guru Gobind Singhji Institute of Engineering and Technology, in Vishnupuri, Nanded, India. The researchers suggest that age classification will add a tighter aspect to security systems and surveillance.
