Claim Text:
1. A method of generating a face age-estimation for a face represented by first image data as a function of faces represented by second image data and having assigned landmark points and known ages, the method comprising: receiving, by a face age-estimation system, the first image data; applying, by the face age-estimation system, a contourlet appearance model (CAM) algorithm to the first image data so as to generate a first feature vector; executing, by the face age-estimation system, an age classifier on the first feature vector so as to identify an estimated age group for the face represented by the first image data as a function of the assigned landmark points of the second image data; and applying, by the face age-estimation system, an aging function to the first feature vector so as to generate the face age-estimation as a function of the assigned landmark points of the second image data.
