photo comparison

[rodc]

Hi,
Is there a commonly available service by which a photo of a person shown as he ages about 15 -18 -35/45 -65 years
can be compared with some certainty to a photo of an unknown person who appears to be in his mid 40's
my eye says the photos depict one and the same guy but it would be more acceptable if an independent source could prove or disprove the contention.
thanks

i dont know of any free programs or apps that would do that but if you post the 2 photos here we could take a look and offer our opinions...

Hi,
Am not looking for free stuff as can pay for right service.
I have several images of which there is a depiction of a guy as he ages that are consistent.
The other images [2] are of one person in 2 situations but look to be about the same age range.
What I am hoping to do is have the one set acting as a template and have the latter 2 superimposed above that template.
If I am right in my suppositions then the upper set should have enough common points with the template to match, I'm guessing at the 40 + age.
So it's biometrics that I'm looking for.
The template images are a mite grainy but the others are fairly sharply defined. All are black and white.
I don't have the original photos and lack the skill and equipment to post the images.
Thought someone at Rootschat might know of such a program or could provide a pointer in the right direction?

Why not put them on here....an overlay of images for feature matching is possible to achieve a probability of them being the same person...There is a tutorial at the top of the board for posting images here.
