N2 - Soft-biometrics such as gender, age, race, etc have been found to be useful characterizations that enable fast pre-filtering and organization of data for biometric applications. In this paper, we focus on two useful soft-biometrics age and height. We discuss their utility and the factors involved in their estimation from images and videos. In this context, we highlight the role that geometric constraints such as multiview-geometry, and shape-space geometry play. Then, we present methods based on these geometric constraints for age and height-estimation. These methods provide a principled means by fusing image-formation models, multi-view geometric constraints, and robust statistical methods for inference.
