  • 基于人脸关键点对齐的SwinFace架构,训练于145万张人脸图像。
  • 在28.3万测试图像上实现平均误差2.94年,60岁以上人群误判率11%。
  • 专为印度Aadhaar系统设计,适合大规模身份认证中的年龄审核场景。

在大型国家身份系统中,生物特征注册与更新环节的身份欺诈仍是重大挑战,其中年龄谎报是常见手段,用于获取年龄限制服务或福利。本文提出SwinAge,一种面向Aadhaar生物特征注册流程的面部年龄估计系统,协助质检人员识别潜在年龄欺诈行为。Aadhaar是全球最大的国家身份计划,涵盖约15亿个唯一身份,过去一年新增注册2240万次,更新2.83亿次。基于SwinFace架构并结合基于关键点的相似性对齐(仿射变换对齐),模型在包含145万张人脸图像的内部数据集上训练,并在独立、按年龄分层的28.3万张图像测试集上评估,覆盖71.6万不同个体的多元族裔群体。研究了5岁、18岁和60岁三个与业务相关的阈值,提出部署分级框架以标记可疑案例。参照NIST FATE标准,报告各阈值下的误接受率/误拒绝率(FAR/FRR):在1% FAR下,5岁以下人群的FRR为3%,18岁以上为0.4%,60岁以上为11.0%。该模型在相同测试集上的平均绝对误差(MAE)为2.94年,优于三种零样本视觉-语言模型,且在7个公开基准中的5个达到当前最优表现。进一步分析了性别差异误差,并总结了对国家级身份项目的关键经验。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Identity fraud during biometric enrollment and updates remains a major challenge for large-scale national identity systems. A common fraud vector is misrepresenting one's age to access age-restricted services or welfare schemes. In this work, we present SwinAge, a facial age estimation system designed for use within the Aadhaar biometric enrollment pipeline, to assist quality-check (QC) operators to flag potential age-related fraud. This is critical for a system like Aadhaar (the world's largest national identity programme), that holds about 1.5 billion unique identities, with 22.4 million new enrollments and 283 million updates in the last year. Building upon the SwinFace architecture with landmark-based similarity (warp affine) alignment, we train on a large in-house dataset of 1.45 million face images and evaluate on an independent, age-stratified test set of 283K images, both drawn from an ethnically diverse population of 716K unique subjects. We investigate three Aadhaar-specific operational thresholds (5, 18, and 60 years) and propose a deployment triage framework that flags suspected cases for manual review. Following NIST FATE, we report false acceptance/rejection rates (FAR/FRR) at each threshold rather than aggregate accuracy: at 1% FAR the model achieves an FRR of 3% (<5yrs), 0.4% (>18yrs) and 11.0% (>60yrs). SwinAge achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) of 2.94 years on the same test set, outperforming three zero-shot vision language models on all benchmarks, and improving the state-of-the-art on 5 out of 7 public benchmark datasets. We further report per-gender errors and distill lessons for national identity programs.
