Abstract

This paper details recent improvement to MORPH, a longitudinal face database, developed for age progression and age estimation research. This database is primarily used to solve age-related problems of facial recognition systems. The data corpus provides the largest set of publicly available longitudinal adult images with supporting metadata and is still expanding; longitudinal spans range from several days to over twenty years. The metadata provided aids in classification by age, gender, and race and includes other key parameters that affect aging appearance.
