            Abstract : 
We propose a method for age estimation based on nose feature extraction. This paper focused on the nose feature that it is very changed in a growth phase. We analyzed the change of the nose feature based on Co-occurrence histogram from teenager to sixties and estimated an age by the comparison with the nose feature of the mean face. In this paper, we describe a method for analysis of the nose feature with experimental results of age estimation.
