Face recognition techniques have traditionally been used to authenticate individuals based on their facial features. However, aging poses a challenge as faces change over time. Recent approaches to age-invariant face recognition can be divided into local and holistic categories. Local approaches analyze distinctive features like skin texture and SIFT features, while holistic models try to generate aging functions to simulate facial changes. Larger databases are needed to train models on the aging process and improve age-invariant recognition.
