Currently, computer vision technology is increasingly being used to help human life. One of them is the application of computer vision in facial recognition to estimate someone's age. The detection of a person's age which is implemented in this final project uses a pretrained CNN model which has been fine tuned with input in the form of facial photos. The system will group the face photos into a certain age range. This grouping is intended to find out their age group. However, detecting a person's age range accurately requires choosing the right dataset and pretrained CNN model. Therefore, in this final project an experiment was carried out on a pretrained CNN model to select a pretrained model that has a high accuracy value in estimating age ranges. Furthermore, based on literature studies that have been carried out, the current application of a person's age detection system is still not practical. Some age detection systems that have been developed still require a laptop or computer to run them. Apart from that, some age detection system interfaces are still very simple, even using the command line without a GUI. Thus, the development of a mobile application for age range detection was then chosen in this final project by emphasizing an attractive user interface and a pleasant user experience. Based on the experimental results of the pretrained CNN model, MobileNet model achieved the highest accuracy value by obtaining a value of 86.17% from 597 test data. Thus, MobileNet model was chosen to be integrated into the mobile application. Furthermore, based on the results of mobile application testing, the system can fulfill all functional and non-functional requirements that have previously been defined. However, the current system cannot be used offline.
