Facial Aging Simulator Based on Patch-Based Facial Texture Reconstruction

Abstract

We propose a facial aging simulator which can synthesize a photo realistic human aged-face image for criminal investigation. Our aging simulator is based on the patch-based facial texture reconstruction with a wrinkle aging pattern model. The advantage of our method is to synthesize an aged-face image with detailed skin texture such as spots and somberness of facial skin, as well as age-related facial wrinkles without blurs that are derived from lack of accurate pixel-wise alignments as in the linear combination model, while maintaining the identity of the original face.
