Summary
- In this paper, we propose hybrid principal component analysis (HPCA) to extract appearance feature of a face and inter-age group variation-based classifier (IAGVC) with regression to estimate age of a person.
- Under HPCA, we introduce two novel methods, extended SpPCA and extended SubXPCA.
- The issues, such as summarization of variance, variable component selection, computational complexity and classification accuracy of HPCA, have been addressed as well.
- The experimental results on FG-NET aging database show that the proposed HPCA-based IAGVC has better classification accuracy as compared to existing classical PCA, local SpPCA and SubXPCA over all age groups.
