TUT live age estimator
Python implementation of a live deep learning based age/gender/smile/celebrity twin recognizer.
All components use convolutional networks:
- Detection uses an SSD model trained on Tensorflow object detection API, but running on OpenCV.
- Age, gender, and smile recognition use a multitask mobilenet trained and running on keras.
- Celebrity twin uses a squeeze-excite seresnet18 to extract features, trained and running on keras.
The detailed functionality of the system (without multitask and celebrity similarity) is described in our paper:
Janne Tommola, Pedram Ghazi, Bishwo Adhikari, Heikki Huttunen, “Real Time System for Facial Analysis,” Submitted to EUVIP2018.

Usage instructions:
Dependencies: OpenCV 4.0.1+, Tensorflow 1.8+, Keras 2.2.3+, and faiss.
- Requires a webcam.
- Tested on Ubuntu Linux 16.04, 18.04 and Windows 10 with and without a GPU.
- Install OpenCV 4.0.1 or newer. Recommended to install with
pip3 install opencv-python(includes GTK support, which is required). Freetype support for nicer fonts requires manual compilation of OpenCV. - Install Tensorflow (1.8 or newer). On a CPU, the MKL version seems to be radically faster than others (Anaconda install by smth like
conda install tensorflow=1.10.0=mkl_py36hb361250_0. Seek for proper versions withconda search tensorflow.). On GPU, usepip3 install tensorflow-gpu. - Install Keras 2.2.3 (or newer). Earlier versions have a slightly different way of loading the models. For example:
pip3 install keras. - Install dlib (version 19.4 or newer) with python 3 dependencies; e.g.,
pip3 install dlib. - Install faiss with Anaconda
conda install faiss-cpu -c pytorch. - Run with
python3 EstimateAge.py.
Required deep learning models and celebrity dataset. Extract directly to the main folder so that 2 new folders are created there.
