Age Detection using CNN with Keras – with source code – easiest way – easy implementation – 2024

Age Detection using CNN

So guys, in today’s blog we will be implementing Age Detection using CNN with the help of Keras. This is going to be a very fun project, So without any further due, Let’s do it…

Step 1 – Import all required libraries.

import cv2
import pandas as pd
import os
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator
from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential
from tensorflow.keras.layers import Conv2D, Dense, Dropout, Flatten, AveragePooling2D, GlobalAveragePooling2D
from tensorflow.keras.callbacks import ModelCheckpoint
import numpy as np
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from keras.utils import np_utils

np.random.seed(42)
tf.random.set_seed(42)

Step 2 – Read the input images and extract their labels.

all_images = os.listdir('combined_faces/')
ranges = ['1-2','3-9','10-20','21-27','28-45','46-65','66-116']

X = []
y = []

l = len(all_images)

for a in range(l):
    X.append(cv2.imread(f'combined_faces/{all_images[a]}',0))
    age = int(all_images[a].split('_')[0])
    
    if age>=1 and age<=2:
        y.append(0)
    elif age>=3 and age<=9:
        y.append(1)
    elif age>=10 and age<=20:
        y.append(2)
    elif age>=21 and age<=27:
        y.append(3)
    elif age>=28 and age<=45:
        y.append(4)
    elif age>=46 and age<=65:
        y.append(5)
    elif age>=66 and age<=116:
        y.append(6)
    print(str(a)+'/'+str(l))

np.savez_compressed('compressed image data.npz',x=X,y=y)
  • Here we are reading our images in grayscale mode and storing them in X array.
  • We are storing their ages in the y array.
  • And finally, we are saving the X and y arrays in npz compressed format so that we don’t need to read images again and again.
How to load the compressed npz data…
loaded = np.load('compressed image data.npz')

X = loaded['x']
y = loaded['y']

Step 3 – Visualize an image.

plt.imshow(X[0],cmap='gray')

Step 4 – One hot encode y array.

y = np_utils.to_categorical(y)
y

Step 5 – Train Test Split the data for creating Age Detection using the CNN model.

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.30, random_state=42)

X_train = np.array(X_train).reshape(-1,200,200,1)
X_test = np.array(X_test).reshape(-1,200,200,1)
  • We are train-test splitting the data here and reshaping X in the correct format to feed it into the model in further steps.

Step 6 – Initialize some constants.

IMG_HEIGHT = 200
IMG_WIDTH = 200
IMG_SIZE = (IMG_HEIGHT,IMG_WIDTH)
batch_size = 128
epochs = 60

Step 7 – Create ImageDataGenerator objects for data augmentation. 

train_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255,
                                   horizontal_flip=True,
                                   shear_range=0.2,
                                   zoom_range=0.2,
                                   height_shift_range=0.1,
                                   width_shift_range=0.1,
                                   rotation_range=15)

test_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255)

Step 8 – Augment the Data for Age Detection using the CNN model.

train_data = train_datagen.flow(X_train,y_train,batch_size)

test_data = test_datagen.flow(X_test,y_test,batch_size)
  • Finally augmenting the data using flow.

Step 9 – Creating the Age Detection using the CNN model.

final_cnn = Sequential()

final_cnn.add(Conv2D(filters=32, kernel_size=3, activation='relu', input_shape=(200, 200, 1)))    # 3rd dim = 1 for grayscale images.
final_cnn.add(AveragePooling2D(pool_size=(2,2)))

final_cnn.add(Conv2D(filters=64, kernel_size=3, activation='relu'))
final_cnn.add(AveragePooling2D(pool_size=(2,2)))

final_cnn.add(Conv2D(filters=128, kernel_size=3, activation='relu'))
final_cnn.add(AveragePooling2D(pool_size=(2,2)))

final_cnn.add(Conv2D(filters=256, kernel_size=3, activation='relu'))
final_cnn.add(AveragePooling2D(pool_size=(2,2)))

final_cnn.add(GlobalAveragePooling2D())

final_cnn.add(Dense(132, activation='relu'))

final_cnn.add(Dense(7, activation='softmax'))

final_cnn.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy'])

final_cnn.summary()
  • Here we have created and compiled our model.

Step 10 – Create a Model Checkpoint to save just the best model.

checkpoint = ModelCheckpoint(filepath="final_cnn_model_checkpoint.h5",
                             monitor='val_accuracy',
                             save_best_only=True,
                             save_weights_only=False,
                             verbose=1
                            )
  • ModelCheckpoint is just a simple callback in Keras which says that store only the best model.
  • The best model means the model with highest val_acuracy here.

Step 11 – Train the Age Detection using the CNN model.

history = final_cnn.fit(train_data,
                    batch_size=batch_size,
                    validation_data=test_data,
                    epochs=epochs,
                    callbacks=[checkpoint],
                    shuffle=False    
                    )

Step 12 – Visualize the training process.

plotting_data_dict = history.history

plt.figure(figsize=(12,8))

test_loss = plotting_data_dict['val_loss']
training_loss = plotting_data_dict['loss']
test_accuracy = plotting_data_dict['val_accuracy']
training_accuracy = plotting_data_dict['accuracy']

epochs = range(1,len(test_loss)+1)

plt.subplot(121)
plt.plot(epochs,test_loss,marker='X',label='test_loss')
plt.plot(epochs,training_loss,marker='X',label='training_loss')
plt.legend()

plt.subplot(122)
plt.plot(epochs,test_accuracy,marker='X',label='test_accuracy')
plt.plot(epochs,training_accuracy,marker='X',label='training_accuracy')
plt.legend()

plt.savefig('training.png')

cam = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while 1:
    ret,frame = cam.read()
    if ret:
        faces = detector.detectMultiScale(frame,1.3,5)
        for x,y,w,h in faces:
            face = frame[y:y+h,x:x+w]
            face = cv2.cvtColor(face,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
            face = cv2.resize(face,(200,200))
            face = face.reshape(1,200,200,1)
            age = model.predict(face)
            cv2.rectangle(frame,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2)
            cv2.rectangle(frame,(x,y+h),(x+w,y+h+50),(255,0,0),-1)
            cv2.putText(frame,ranges[np.argmax(age)],(x+65,y+h+35),cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_DUPLEX,0.8,(255,255,255),2)
            
        cv2.imshow('Live',frame)
        
        
    if cv2.waitKey(1)==27:
        break

cam.release()
