Abstract: The invention includes a four step process for automatically finding facial images of a human face in an electronically digitized image (for example, taken by a video-camera), and classifying the age of the person (associated with the face) into an age category. For example three age categories: a baby(up to approximately age 3), a junior person(above age 3 to approximately age forty), and a senior adult (over forty years old). Categories can be further subdivided whereas every three years could be a further age category. Step 1 of the process is to find facial features of the digital image encompassing the chin, sides of the face, virtual top of the head, eyes, mouth and nose of the image. Step 2 is to compute the facial feature ratios of the facial features ratios of the facial features found in Step 1. Step 3 is to compute a wrinkle analysis of the image. Step 4 is to combine the previous two steps to categorize age of the facial image.
