520 _aIn the realm of machine learning, estimating age from photographs of individuals is a difficult challenge. It has gotten a lot of interest from academics in recent years because of its uses in fields including customized advertising, content access regulation, and surveillance systems. Building an effective age estimation network, on the other hand, presents various obstacles, including data discrepancy, the quality of facial images, and individual aging trends. This study provides an in-depth examination of the typical approaches for developing age estimate models with the use of Convolutional Neural Networks. It also addresses standard datasets for training and assessment, as well as the most recent advances in this field. The research also looks at the common assessment measures that are used to evaluate the effectiveness of age estimation algorithms. This study's main contributions are the development of an effective Convolutional neural network age estimation model with quality performance and a thorough analysis of the impact of various factors on the model's performance, such as data preprocessing, data augmentation, network architecture (substituting some convolution layer with separable convolution to help fight overfitting due to small dataset), and transfer learning. The report not only provides a survey but also highlights gaps in the currently available information and makes recommendations for further research.
