Automatic Brightness Adjustment Using Age Detection

Although ignored by everyone the brightness intensity of smartphones and devices has a major impact on users eyesight. Adjusting brightness of a smartphone using the ambient light sensor is a conventional but a vain technique. People prefer to adjust the brightness by themselves instead of using the auto adjustment feature. To overcome the brightness adjustment scenario and to reduce user's eye strain we thought of adjusting the brightness of the smartphone or device according to user’s age. However it can be difficult to extract user’ age and then set appropriate brightness level for individual user. So In this paper we classify users into five groups and then adjust the brightness level according to the group where particular user belongs. Our basic idea is to develop an application that first captures a facial image of the user and then image is processed to obtain age value. Using the obtained age value the brightness would be adjusted.
