A software for aging faces applied to ancient marble busts
This work is incremental, applying an existing method to a new domain (ancient art) for analysis purposes.
The study applied existing face aging software to compare ancient marble busts, specifically analyzing Augustus busts to demonstrate its utility in visual arts analysis.
The study and development of software able to show the effect of aging of faces is one of the tasks of face recognition technologies. Some software solutions are used for investigations, some others to show the effects of drugs on healthy appearance, however some other applications can be proposed for the analysis of visual arts. Here we use a freely available software, which is providing interesting results, for the comparison of ancient marble busts. An analysis of Augustus busts is proposed.
