How to determine how old a person is from a photo (find out the age using a smartphone camera!)

Greetings to all! ✌

Does your girlfriend (boyfriend) hide her real age? Do you have a photo that you forgot to sign and do not remember how many are on them, and when the photo was taken? Or maybe you just want to know how you look? Actually, today's article will be just about that!

In general, some 20 years ago analysis photos were taken by specials. experts - they could, based on a photograph of a person's face (on which frontal and eye wrinkles, dimples, folds, etc. are noticeable), roughly name his age: ± 3-4 years.

Now, to determine the age from the picture, you just need to go to the desired site and make a couple of clicks ... And given that everyone has a smartphone in their pocket (with the Internet), then any acquaintance can find out how old you are 😢 ...

Although, perhaps, the note will be useful to you in another way. For example, many who want to "rejuvenate" themselves (seem at least a little younger) can play with their hairstyle, accessories, cosmetics - and the application will help them assess how well they performed all these operations ...

Be that as it may, below I will give several services and applications that will help you solve this problem ... 👌

👉 By the way!

I have a couple more interesting notes on my blog:

1) how you can find a person's contacts by his photo;

2) search for people on the Internet by name and surname, phone number, E-mail, etc.

How old do I look in the photo? We define!

What determines accuracy

The accuracy of age determination (for all of the options listed below) is highly dependent on the following points:

from foreshortening shooting (try so that the person in the photo looks at you (frontal shot), and his face is clearly visible 👇);
from applied filters : some smartphone applications apply filters on the fly, which adds to the margin of error;
from quality photo: the better your camera and the "cleaner" the picture, the better the results;
wearing glasses, various masks, "abundant" makeup, strands of hair (overlapping part of the face и), etc. - all this reduces the results;
it is good if the analyzed photo was taken with good lighting (everything that is in the dark is difficult to analyze);
it is better to take a photo in color.

Examples of photos for search

Option 1 (site How-Old.net)

Officer. website: //www.how-old.net/

This service was developed by Microsoft. It allows you to upload your photo in just two clicks and get the result automatically! (how it looks - see the screen below 👇)

Screenshot from How-Old.net

It is worth noting that if several people are captured in the photo, then the service will also automatically "show" its yellow square with numbers above each face ...

Having tested a dozen or two photos (with people I know), I can say that, in general, the service quite accurately determines the age (with an error of 2-3 years). ✌

By the way, according to Microsoft, the service has become quite popular and is used by several. thousand people a day!

Option 2 (PicTriev)

Web page: //www.pictriev.com/

This site is interesting because in addition to age and sex of the person in the photo, he also shows all the famous people he looks like (👇).

Moreover, the percentage of similarity will be indicated next to each photo of the celebrity! ..

Note that PictTriev is quite "capricious" and it is better to upload photos of normal quality in JPG format here.

Option 3 (FaceBot 👍)

Link to Play Market ->

The "FaceBot" application is interesting primarily because, in addition to age (+ date of birth), it will indicate ethnicity and describe in detail what is captured in the photo.

For example, in the photo below: a woman, wearing dark glasses, alone, smiling, outside, cheerful, most likely resting, there is a sea / river in the photo, etc.

FaceBot - determined not only age and gender, but also described the photo

By the way, the application allows you to either open a photo from the phone's memory (which you captured earlier), or take it directly from the camera. Conveniently?! 👌

Disadvantage: there is advertising in the application (not critical, just 5-6 seconds you will have to watch some video).

Option 4 (FaceAge)

Link to Play Market ->

This application is powered by neural networks. When uploading a photo (or after creating a picture from the camera), it automatically imposes a "mask" on the face and determines how old a person is by key points. By the way, very accurate!

FaceAge - application

If several people are captured in the picture, the application will analyze them all!

By the way, I will note that apart from age, it can do nothing more (like the previous product). Although soon the developers promise to add a definition: gender, the availability of accessories, the level of your happiness, the presence of glasses, etc.

Disadvantage: this application has built-in commercials and you "have to" watch them after using their software a couple of times.
