    ABSTRACT

    Many studies on face aging have been conducted, ranging from approaches that use pure image-
    processing algorithms to those that use generative adversarial networks. It is preferable when
    computationally aging a face that the age output is close to the expected age and that the
    individual's characteristics are preserved. Conventionally, two types of modeling techniques have
    been used in this task: prototype-based and model-based methods. When transforming a face from
    a younger domain to an aged domain, both approaches fail to retain individual characteristics.
    With advancements in computer vision, generative models, particularly generative adversarial
    networks, have been used to perform this task (GANs). It is now possible to generate realistically
    aged faces of specific individuals using them. However, these methods cannot meet the three
    essential requirements of face aging simultaneously and usually generate aged faces with strong
    ghost artifacts when the age gap becomes large. So, identity-preserved and attention-based
    progressive face aging using generative adversarial network (IPAPFA-GAN) is proposed to
    mitigate these issues. The proposed architecture uses self-attention GAN to maintain identity-
    related information and improve quality of the generated images. And also, pixel-wise loss
    replaced with attention loss to alleviate accumulative blurriness. Further, least-square GAN
    employed for the discriminator to improve the quality of the synthesized images and stabilize
    training process. Furthermore, quantitative experiments validate the effectiveness of our
    approach. The inception score of the proposed solution has shown improvements in generating
    the desired images with better quality with the score of 34.23. The Pearson correlation coefficient
    of the proposed solution also has shown improvement in generating images with better aging
    accuracy and smoothness with the score of 0.993. Finally, the verification confidence score of the
    proposed solution has shown improvements in identity-preservation between input faces and
    generated face images with the score of 97.03, 95.12, and 90.42 respectively from three age
    groups. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate superior performance of the proposed solution
    over the existing state-of-the-art methods on CACD benchmarked dataset with attention loss, least
    square GAN, and self-attention mechanism.
