Deep convolutional neural networks for forensic age estimation: A review
Forensic age estimation is usually requested by courts, but applications can go beyond the legal requirement to enforce policies or offer age-sensitive services. Various biological features such as the face, bones, skeletal and dental structures can be utilised to estimate age. This article will cov...
