Face.com API determines age by photo

The age determination feature has been added to the Face.com API The Face.com API is used by many applications, including the Facebook Finder and Photo Tagger. Yandex, as one of the shareholders of Face.com, uses their APIs on Yandex. Photos.

The API shows the minimum and maximum age as well as the average estimate.

Perhaps the new feature can be used on dating sites to sort a set of photographs (questionnaires), as well as in security systems requiring authorization via a webcam — to prohibit access by persons under a certain age.

The algorithm works by recognizing wrinkles and analyzing skin texture. Of course, the definition error is high, because the skin condition does not always correspond to the actual physical age, and the quality of the photo affects the result of the algorithm.
