N2 - This paper proposes a simple method of selecting effective brain local features for age estimation from T1-weighted MR images. We also employ the high-resolution AAL atlas, which is defined by 1,024 local regions, to improve the accuracy of age estimation. We evaluate performance of the proposed method using 1,099 T1-weighted images from a large-scale brain MR image database of healthy Japanese, and demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits efficient performance of age estimation compared with conventional methods.
