FG-NET AGING DATABASE

The FG-NET Aging Database is an image database containing face images showing a number of subjects at different ages. The database has been developed in an attempt to assist researchers who investigate the effects of aging on facial appearance.

The database has been generated as part of the European Union project FG-NET (Face and Gesture Recognition Research Network). The following document describes the contents of the database and provides information related to the use and distribution of the database.
