Research Abstract |
It is difficult to authenticate a person from the face image which was registered many years ago, due to the change caused by growth. In this research, a method to authenticate a person correctly from the face image taken across age progression was proposed, using a block matching algorithm. This method is based on the idea that each part of face moves, while keeping the feature around it, with the person’s growth. This method was shown to be more effective than conventional methods which do not adopt block matching.
