UW CSE computer vision research on cover of CACM
The cover article in this month’s Communications of the ACM describes UW CSE’s “Moving Portraits” research by Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman, Eli Shechtman, Rahul Garg, and Steve Seitz:
“We present an approach for generating face animations from large image collections of the same person. Such collections, which we call photobios, are remarkable in that they summarize a person’s life in photos; the photos sample the appearance of a person over changes in age, pose, facial expression, hairstyle, and other variations … By… Read more →
NBC’s Today Show features UW CSE’s age progression software
Ever wonder what the Today Show’s Natalie Morales will look like when she’s 60?
We didn’t either. But the Today Show thought their viewers might, so featured UW CSE’s age progression software this morning. The software, created by Ira Kemelmacher-Schlizerman, Supasorn Suwajanakorn, and Steve Seitz, computes stunningly accurate age progression images from a single photograph.
Watch the video segment (preceded by an annoying 30-second commercial) below. Transcript on the Today Show website here. Learn more about the… Read more →
What will you look like when you grow old?
The Seattle Times gushes over UW CSE’s age progression software, created by Ira Kemelmacher-Schlizerman, Supasorn Suwajanakorn, and Steve Seitz:
“We also asked the program to age a number of others – from Miley Cyrus to Russell Wilson to Macklemore – to show them in their 60s. It showed us what Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain would have looked like had they lived, to 71 and 47 this year, respectively.
“No wonder so many plastic surgeons get rich.”

Automated age-progression software lets you see how a child will age!
It’s a guessing game parents like to ponder: What will my child look like when she grows up? For better or for worse, research by UW CSE professors Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman and Steve Seitz and UW CSE graduate student Supasorn Suwajanakorn has yielded software that answers this question!
Using a single photo of a 3-year-old, the software automatically renders facial images at multiple ages. The researchers tested their rendered images against those of 82 actual people photographed over a span of… Read more →
